The silence is overwhelming, yet comforting. It's been silent in this abandoned port for as long as I can remember. The silence calms me down. It takes my mind off of the feelings floating around inside of my brain. The silence takes over my thoughts and quiets the demons in my head.
I come here often. It's always empty here. Not a single living soul, besides me, has set foot in this port for over 25 years. It seems like it hasn't changed a bit in all those years. But it's filled with secrets. I have a few secrets here too. One of them is in full view. A boat. An actual, working, sailable boat. I always imagine myself sailing away. To a better place. Not telling anyone that I'm leaving. To find a new start. Or maybe the ocean will decide my faith for me. Maybe the ocean will help me to continue my journey. My eternal journey. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally be at peace.
(A/N) Inspired by Harry Styles' She: 'He takes a boat out, imagines just sailing away. Not telling his mates. Wouldn't know what to say.'
