One day you finally knew

What you had to do, and began,

Though the voices around you

Kept shouting

Their bad advice ---

Though the whole house

Began to tremble

And you felt the old tug

At your ankles.

"Mend my life!"

Each voice cried.

But you didn't stop.

You knew what you had to do,

Though the wind pried

With its stiff fingers

At the very foundations,

Though their melancholy

Was terrible.

It was already late

Enough, and a wild night,

And the road full of fallen

Branches and stones.

But little by little,

As you left their voices behind,

The stars began to burn

Through the sheets of clouds,

And there was a new voice

Which you slowly

Recognized as your own,

That kept you company

As you strode deeper and deeper

Into the world,

Determined to do

The only thing you could do ---

Determined to save

that I am indeed lost in a sea,

or perhaps an ocean,

an ocean of you,

and I'd rather be lost there

than be found elsewhere,

for even in your shadows

there's still a tranquility,

that I wouldn't be able to find,

even in someone else's light.

The stars have already opened their autumn eyes.

“when did they start going out? see for yourself, they’re clearly dating.”

The man I love is right by my side

Darling, your eyes are filled

With your love for me

Even if everything in the world changes

(◕‿◕✿) It still feels so awkward and funny that I can’t even look at his face.

I loved you with my eyes because they only saw the good in you. I loved you with my mind because I never ran out of words for you. I loved you with my heart because it still beats your name. But mostly, I loved you with my soul. Because my soul always remembers. Because my soul never forgets.
