Day 61: mermaid

oh my little bird,
i wish i could keep
you forever
in my small hands.
shielded from others,
just mine to call.

but you are meant to fly
higher, further.
and i am a child of the sea —
shall only be of drowning,
of misery and doubting.
but if you come back...

little bird,
take me with you.
with the assurance
of never needing to change,
this tail can stride
along with your wings.

for you are my peace
in this chaos.
you are the calm of
the roughest seas.
you are the freedom
from all the restraints.

This is for the one I love.

Reader, have you ever had that feeling? That need to keep this one person only for yourself? At times, I have that feeling for my significant other. See, he's just so talented and really open to others. I wish I could keep him only for myself... but then, I realize that love is liberating. It is freeing. It is letting go but still holding on. So, I let him. Like a bird, he needs to explore.

Perhaps, it only frustrates me, too, as I am still waist-deep in my doubts. I have a plan, but it is still a shaky one.

Anywayyyyy, that was my thought/s for today. I hope you are also filled with some revelations!

Have a great day. :)
