You found me where the sea met silence-a shore too quiet for its own heart.
And somehow, you turned that silence into a song.
Before you, the world was still, the sky unmoving, the piano untouched.
But then there was you-bluebell eyes, a voice like waves, a laugh that could wake the tides.
You didn't rescue me. You simply saw me-and that was enough to make me float again.
This poem, this book, is my thank-you.
Thirty tides, thirty heartbeats, thirty poems carved from salt and lavender light-a collection of the moments, the thoughts, and the breaths that became "us."
Every page is a memory dressed in poetry.
Every word is something I never said aloud but always meant.
You are the melody the sea taught me,
and I am forever writing it back to you.
Happy birthday, wifey!! mwa mwas u dearly ^^
May the sea always carry my words to where you are. 💜🌊

This is a collection of poems born from silence, survival, and identity.
Written by someone who was told to hide, and chose instead to speak.
Every poem is a quiet war. Every line, a piece of light.
