Love Sonnet

Love, we reached shores
saw waves reaching out
and decided to walk on
we stayed in each other
beyond countries we live in
we, separated by this land
united by the sky above

my hand searches for yours
to hold and walk the steps
that we walked together
my eyes trace those footsteps
which are now filled with water
ingrained in the sand there
the steps we took together

This sun sets again today
like it does on each of days
and yet it again hides ships
that are at the horizon now
for them to be never seen
wrecking them forever then
like it did to our hearts then

My searching eyes still wander
towards this horizon hoping
to see you rise from the wreck
from across the horizon back
or up from depths of the sea
and hold me once again
tracing those footsteps back
