on this day.

i only hope it was peaceful.

xx. I ONLY HOPE IT WAS PEACEFUL.

you speak if the ocean as if it's your home
your eyes, they light up with passion
the moment you hear the waves crashing 
and the seagulls singing a lullaby into
shells only awaiting for your possession

we never quite understood 
how you found your heart 
at the oceans floor 
while we still don't know what there is to exist 
but you say 
that it's the beauty of it all
the unknown
waiting to be discovered

we smiled 
but never got to say goodbye 
as you went missing the early morning
of our towns first snow fall

people took flashlights 
and winter jackets 
into the forest 
and cried when they saw 
the ice that had been broken through
a mystery solved
as to where you had ran off to

we patiently sat
with only a few tears pricking
our eyes for we knew you were happier
home
than you ever were
here.
