We once held hands interlocking fingers,
A promise to each other
We said we would be strong,
united,
supportive;
That the vast oceans wouldn’t separate us
And we would make it work.
But then the winter arrived with darkened seas,
turbulent waves,
and dangerous, unchartered waters.
Questioning the belief we had in each other
Whether we could keep the darkness at bay.
I did
You couldn’t.
Do you think it’s enough?
Is it ever enough?
For we surrendered to bleakness,
to despair,
to be tossed about at the whim of the waves.
Where do we go?
We keep rewinding
A barrel of promises smashed in the weeds
And.. forgotten.

Thank you. ?
This is stunning. Does love stories really need to end like this.
Thanks, Amrita. Yeah. Many end like this, I guess.
Sadly, some love stories end like these 🙁
