WF Image, Bali 2019 — the sun in reflection

Today, I thought of you.
The sun set and I remembered all the broken promises I let fade away like the waves in front of me.

I saw us crashing into the surf, to be flowed with the current and carried with the sea.

I looked at the tides and concluded: The arrival is only as certain as the departure.

Perhaps this is my path.

I reflected on a beautiful sight that displayed your name in orange hues.

I witnessed a mesmerizing view that included you.

Today, I thought of you.
I remembered the love filled hope we both held for a moment in time, the endless seas couldn’t compete with you and I.

The gods and queens they echoed our moments. Which were as powerful and real as any mantra I have experienced.

I recalled the hope of what I thought was real, until it wasn’t. It was never you, it was always me, edging my way to nowhere. Leaving carnage in my wake.

You were a beautiful human with an open heart that deserved more, I was a lost soul who needed to find my place in the world and simply could not give you more.

I remembered how cruel my ghostly figure appeared, I remembered how you publicly made this known and I crept deeper back into the darkness that was home.

I remembered my silence and my depression, I remembered your loudness and your depression.

Today, I thought of you.
Even as times passes by and my heart is stable elsewhere, I thought of you anyway.

I remember the good and the bad, and although your viewpoint is different and our time is behind, I stared at the sunset and asked the setting to bring you peace.

So there you have it.

Today, I thought of you and despite all the hurtful in betweens?

I still found it beautiful.
