Your Message

I was alone next to the sea

At times I'd stare at the waves

Wishing they'd bring something new

beside the endless water

And moments were I stared at nothing

This paradise was empty for me

I threw the message in the bottle,

hoping one day you'd come to me

I sank in the deepest desires,

however it all became a false memory

The bottle never came.

My bare feet sank into endless grain of sadness

I walked forever this way

But the sunset saw my tears

and the sunrise had seen my heart breaking

And a new tide was welcomed.

I felt the cool breeze in my soul

My hair danced through the wind

I walked the line of uncertainty

In the bottle, I wrote a message of hope

Of a love I wished to find

A warmth I yearned for.

I prayed to the creator of such oceans,

to bring me back my happiness

I paused.

A bottle washed up ashore

I trembled and opened the bottle

And your photograph was in it

My wishes were answered,

the waves washed away my tears

This is my paradise.

Your face, your love, your everything in this life.

This paradise...

Awaken with the sunrise next to your warmth,

and falling asleep in your arms as the sunset disappeared.

 

This was your message.
