Ocean
For a second, I was calm.
I saw big waves. I heard them.
But the more I listen,
The closer I can see
Those aren't waves of the ocean
But waves of my emotions.
Then it hit me
I am still unsteady.
i want the small but significant things. the goodbye and hello kisses, knowing how they like their tea/ coffee, taking care of them when they’re sick, „i got that thing you mentioned“, falling asleep in each other’s arms and them being the first thing you see when you wake up, lazily making out, being a shoulder to cry on, cooking together and for each other, making memories together … sharing our lives until we can’t tell where one ends and the other begins

The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.

State of mind
I can feel the big waves crashing on my body
And I am letting it take me away
I can feel the rain on me
It pours hardly
I can feel the dark clouds on the sky
With thunder and lightning
And I am letting it scare me
The waves are pulling me
Taking me away from the shore
And I am letting it be
I am giving up
I have given up.
