Oceans Away
Naomie Guérinot
I always imagined that we would be
Like two ships sailing side by side.
Some days I felt you near
While others, I was afraid of us drifting apart.
I’ve always admired your strong sails
And polished deck.
Now you are oceans away,
No doubt sailing alongside a stronger,
more beautiful vessel
I stare at the waves, trying to forget
Slowly sinking, no longer wanting to float alone.
