the ocean falling like bombs
behind these waves of gratitude
and kindness i remember your face
all those harsh words we exchanged
my twisting, unbelieving expression
as i realized my feelings were false
and felt for higher ground.
i found this peace,
in our warm embrace
realizing then, i’d been longing
to be understood
or to understand
all we are is human
with no borders
or boundaries
when our love hits
a wall
it won’t make an echo.
i, realize.
