The sea in you

The sea holds inside so much memory

It could write about all the moon phases,

Late night cries and morning goodbyes,

Describe every child laughter and each lover’s first kiss

And still never finish a whole chapter

The sea catches glimpses of people’s life

But never learns the whole story.

When I stepped into your sea,

The waves welcomed me

And made me, in a matter of a second, forget

About all the pain I was carrying on my feet

Your sea looks at me with wide eyes

And lets me inside its deepest corners

Where I can feel the real you

The identity you refuse to give to anyone else

But me.

I fell in love with the way every sunset

Reflected your soul better

And how you made me feel like home

Even during thunderstorms

Even when I didn’t know

How to hold on to my own heart.

As the morning sun touches your cheeks

I look at you and every inch of my mind

Becomes quiet

As I lean forward

And kiss the love of my life

Your sea is now my home.
