Water used to be my favourite element
I would submerge and
The thoughts, the worry, the questions…
Washed away by the tide but
Since you left your print on me
I dread every drop
A tear, the rain, a shower, the ocean
I fear it will wash away
The sound of your laugh
The light in your eyes
The color of your smile
The beauty of your thoughts
The detail of your dreams
The softness of your head against mine
The kisses you laid on me
The caress on my shoulder
And every other
Little mark
You left on me
Unconsciously
I never want them to stray from me but
I fear I have no other choice
But to let time heal the wounds
You inflicted on me
Unconsciously
Each drop will erase
Why I fell, why I laughed, why I loved
And why I thought you were irreplaceable
To me
But maybe
You will leave my mind empty
Unconsciously
