I remember that boat we once saw, drifting aimlessly as we rowed toward what we called our nirvana.

“Whoever left that boat alone in this vast sea must be a sadist,” you said, believing that even things have spirits, like humans do.

But just like that boat, you left me adrift in the waves of wonder.

I’m not sure where I went wrong, but suddenly, I awoke in the silence of the waves, drifting farther from you.
