'you are just like these flowers'
you said softly
pointing out the forget-me-nots to me

'not only because they're beautiful
but because they had to take the rain
and to survive every storm
to be able to grow'

i feel so alone
unsatisfied
without the waves
of the ocean
crashing over me

i can't be satiated
i just want to smell the
salt in the air
feel the foam on my skin

i want to see the beauty
the ocean can give me
