The Sand Beneath The Stars

I missed you.

But there was something in the way I couldn’t understand.

Hesitance kept me conscious. The same manner you kept me alive.

The might I found to trust you were the same strength that held me back.

You knew me, how I behaved, I spoke, my limitations.

You understood.

But you grew tired as well.

I walked down by the sea. I saw your face behind the strident waters,

Your voice in the brisk heavens, and your scent in the awakening sunrise.

I might have been abhorrent of you for a moment,

But I’m aware there’s no other way but back to you.

As the sand got into my toes, my heart skipped and almost stopped.

I have you now, I thought.

And even through the shadows of doubt, I may have provoked you,

You will always be the star I looked up to in the heavens.

Then I saw you from afar, a mere distance the two of us have.

There were enough reasons for me to run aback,

But all those didn’t matter now,

My individuality thought of you,

How we used to chortle, cackle, and be merry.

We may have divergences,

Yet you were everything I tried to find in this cloudy and unpleasant humanity.
