Hook Poem by Gabriella Diane

please don’t tell me there’re other fish in the sea
we have been hooked since that day on the beach
when I saw only him and he only saw me

he fell into my soul, we fell onto the sand
without further ado
took my heart, not my hand

i was warmed by his eyes and caught up in my laughter
this connection and comfort
grew deeper thereafter

with me through the ebb and flow
the harbor for my worried mind and soul
what an arduous task to see him go

now that was quite some time ago,
he has turned the tides
but even so…

one thing i knew that day at the shore
was that I found what I wanted
and have wanted nothing more.
