Go Back

It's Impossible to Reach You

Blow, wind blow! Carry the notes of my voice across the never ending water that separates our emotions and the passion of touch. I yell and yell from the top of my lungs hoping that one of the wind's wings would carry my song of love to you. But as every word is released from my mouth, it's drowned out by the laughter of the sea.

I've made many attempts of swimming the sea to reach you, only driven by the pure sensation of your love. But as far as I swim, the farther the horizon moves away. Once I made it half way, but my attempt was in vain. If it had not been for a gentle hand of a wave I would have been just another treasure at the bottom of the sea. When all my strength had run from me, a current felt sorry, because my cry was of pain and loneliness. When my head went under, no longer seeing the sky, I closed my eyes knowing that I would no longer see your smile. When I woke, I thought I was in heaven. My eyes scanned the sky, only to meet the eyes of the sun. In the eyes of the sun, I saw a tear, that reminded me of you. As the tears fell, heat warmed the ocean, making me realize that this Island wasn't heaven but still away from you, a hell surrounded by water. I once put a note in a bottle, hoping that someone would find it. With all of my strength I tossed it, only to see it return. The same wave that saved my life is the same wave that wouldn't let my note of love get through. I found myself rereading your letter that I wrote over and over again.

Every night as the sun falls, I pray to the North Star. Every time it twinkles I envision your smile. Every time a star falls from the sky I think it's you trying to communicate with me. Many nights I've found myself talking to you through the stars. After I say my words of love to you, a star always falls. From the beautiful colors that are released, my heart can feel your heart's cry through the empty space that it leaves. I f you ever read this, go to a window and look at the North Star. If it twinkles, that's me letting you know that I love you. If you ever want to see me, look to the stars. My heart will forever be yearning for your love, and the North Star will forever shine as long as you love me.
