Like an ocean

She had depth like an ocean
So deep you could dive in her soul for days
So deep she’d often drown inside herself
So deep you’d fear what lied in its darkness
Though it’s calling you, and the fear would grow less

When the seas would take her you’d know
For her eyes would wet, as tides come and go
And they’d take you too, don’t wander from the shore
Because soon there’d be nothing left to swallow

But the air went went warm and soon it would show
As the water moved from the sea to the stream, for and water’s meant to flow
That the ocean you cherished had become so shallow
You would see it’s dried soul lying in an empty bed

Maybe that is how it should be, an empty river bed, where no water would seep
For the air took it all, what a shame to behold
Not even a puddle left, scorched silt where water would flow
How cruel is the heat, you won’t hear the flowing water
Just the ruckus of the city, and all of it’s chatter

So here you stand, parched and with hope
That you could bring the rain, and the water to flow
In this empty stream, so that it could grow
To be soon the ocean that you used to know

I‘ve missed you

(This letter will be sent at some point so i’ll take any advice on phrasing)

Hey there, sorry for reaching out like this, i’m guessing we’re rather on a no contact basis and i respect that, there was just a few things i need to get off my chest.

First off, i sincerely apologize for making things weird (I’m talking about that night I called you), i didn’t mean to put you on the spot like this, it’s my own fault for not taking enough time to analyze my emotions and being too much of a coward to talk to the people i have issues with.

Anyways, a lot has happened those past years, and i’m not here to reminisce the past. I just wanted to say to you, that i’ve been grieving you ever since i left. I’m not talking about missing you for the place you had in my life, i mean it like i miss you for the person you are, or rather you were.

I’ve tried getting over it countless times but i simply cannot bring myself to forget about you. Because, for some reason i feel called to you, and it freaks me out. The truth is, whatever bond we shared has been unmatched in depth ever since, i cannot connect with anyone like i did with, and i often wonder if it was my only chance at a true connection.

I regret how long it took me to be able to put words on it, certainly too much for us to even remain acquaintances.

So that’s about it, i guess i do wonder if at some point you’ve ever felt that way, perhaps if you still do. Part of me would love to grab a drink sometime, though i think it’s best not to.

Anyways this is it, now i can move forward in peace, sorry i’ve been such a hassle. I wish you the best, you deserve it, sincerely, your friend always.
