clouds patterned the sky

engulfing the space around us

stretched out

streaks of dancing magenta

against the expanding steel blue

blanketed in gentle altocumulus

like i am with you

the ocean, our friend

puttering and rippling

punctuating hour-long conversation

the moon lurked, peeking

through pedestrian clouds

staring, intense, as she dipped below

holding us in her silence

the rocks bended beneath

the waves dared to overtake us

our shared sentiment

of so be it

i am tentative

gave a shaky answer to your flowing question

and you let it be

i am captivated

inching closer, reeling in

from the sea

it was bound to happen

for the way you looked

when you spoke in a way i

fully understood

it took me by surprise

and tore off my disguise

i present myself before you

with ease

say something!
