ever since you were young
you were obsessed with the sea.
your father had taken you on a boat
and as you grew you spent
more and more time
alone,
with the sea before you and
a courage in your heart that the boat
could hardly hold.
you took me on deck one day,
when the sun was low and
my heart was racing.
you told me of your plans and
the journeys you wanted to take.
you told me there was nothing more
precious than the sea.
nothing you loved more,
except for me.
