Shore Of Hearts

Away With The Shore

I, Anabeth Fargo am writing this to whoever on the day I presume is my death. 

Though I should be hopeful and choose to continue believing in the gods above; no god can save me from the current events bound to happen soon. I am not afraid to die. I am afraid to be alone.

As I write this, my ship nears closer to the northernmost shores of Antarctica. Where most say is reputable for a very rough passage. Normally I'd be swell but unfortunately I have lost all control to my ship. It'll be over very soon so I'll try my best to quickly finish this passage to you. I wish that this gives closure to you all waiting for my arrival back home. Before anything; I want to thank my family, and the women back in my hometown who taught me to be me. If only you all could see the person I have grown into now as I end my depature. I have lived a long, fulfilling life.

Thank you.

My people back home were wonderful. They have always encouraged me to go out and be myself. My dad, a fisherman always taking me out to sea. Immediately I fell in love with being out in the ocean. When I'd get the chance I would beg my dad to take me out on the water with him. Sincerely I thank him for shaping the person I am today. And my mom, though she never paid much attention to me I am still thankful that I had some inclusion in her life. I thank her for giving me a sense of independency. And to the women, the people who showed me that I am who I am. Thank you so, so much. Being in your presence took me from a girl, to a woman. 

Despite all those people who loved me and who learned to love me they are not who I will miss the most.

To my dearest, Maribelle. My Marie, my love. If you are watching me write this I hope you don't mind me telling our story. Wait for me my dear, please just wait.

Marie, Maribelle, every name of yours makes me want to dance.

I think I never learned to love you

I just did.

My hometown, your school came on a trip to go on a sea expedition on my fathers ship. My father had passed far before then so I quickly learned to take over his business, along with the addition of tours on the water. My addition was quite successful, I had schools coming from around the world just to board my ship. I met quite a handful of people and so did the people in my town. All of that changed when you came. Your class boarded the boat as per usual and we set sail. And as we sailed away from shore I watched your face light up the same way mine did all those years ago. I had done over 100 tours, atleast 1000 people have boarded my boat and seen my ocean. But you were the only one that stood out to me Marie. 

A few weeks after that tour I had taken a break due to my poor health. I laid in bed for days unable to get up. The women in my town caring for me the best they could. Once I had regained my strength I walked outside for the first time in 4 long, grueling days. The first thing I saw outside was that girl with the lit up face, you. I followed you to the docks and watched you board a boat and load up atleast 80 people. I quickly realized exactly what you were doing and I felt my blood boil. The girl I was interested in stole the business I created. I was quick to recover after that and get back into business.

Things didn't end as well for me as they did for you, my love.

I think we both rememeber that.
