Into the vastness of time
Where moments come and go
And disappear into the ocean.
Of all that was created
Where some keep afloat
And others inevitably sink.
I look at all the waves
Relentlessly moving and breaking
Every moment that was part of me.
Behind the water I see faces
Of the past and the present
Having an endless conversation.
I listen to their voices
Familiar whispers
Never too far away.
In my hands I hold two pages
One crumpled and one brand new
Two things that I must do.
First I unwrite a chapter
About a long but past love
Erasing everything on the crumpled paper.
Word after word after word
Retracing all past feelings
While I leave them all behind.
When I’m done I look at the ocean
And while hearing the ruthless waves
I start filling the blank page.
With incomplete sentences
For it is just the beginning
Of a love too soon to tell.
Still I continue to write
As to capture every moment
That reminds me of you.
