Chapter 13
I’ll Guide You to Safe Shores, My Real Love
And if you truly perceive, if your eyes awaken,
To the vastness of the sky, its endless embrace,
You will come to understand that we were
A storm pausing to draw a breath, if only for a heartbeat.
Like shimmering waters cradled in the sea, like embers dancing in the wind,
You, who have just returned, you, who have never truly left my world.
You, who had been the deepest desire my heart ever knew, you who had reshaped the fibers of my being.
Like footprints whispered away by the tides,
You graced this place, and your essence shall endure.
And should the day come when you choose to wander,
The ocean will hold our melody close to its heart.
And when the wind carries you beyond the horizon,
I shall remain here, counting lonely seconds until your return.
