we should live by the sea

close your eyes, give me your hand, and follow me to the shore, the sea, the waves, and so on.

i’d like to experience the beauty of watching the moon and the stars at night and taking morning strolls along the shore with you.

moreover, we have to witness the splendor of the sunset every day and bring each of our books, read them till the sun’s light fades, and the golden orange or purple skies transform into a canopy of stars.

i also love the sky, in case you didn’t know..

but from the moment i first knew you, i knew damn so well that you liked poetry, didn’t you? you truly have a poetic soul and you’re such a poet.

yes, indeed, words hold a magical power for some individuals, and i wholeheartedly agree with that.

and yeah speaking of which, i have always told the sky about you. the sky never fails to understand my emotions and my feelings when i express them to you. like, when you try to hide your longing for someone who is far away, the sky can perceive it through your eyes.

i remembered when you told me that life’s tough (real), which is why i want to take you with me and live by the sea. we would immerse ourselves in its depths, never to part… and perhaps, metaphorically speaking, find eternal unity (die together). shall we?

we’ll die in peace, in total anonymity.

i hope my love for you outlives me,

i love you from the start and i love you more than that love itself.
