Five years ago
I threw a bottle into the sea
With a single message in it
And in my young mind
I wished for one thing
For my thoughts to reach someone I love
I was frustrated though
For no matter how many times
I threw it into the sea
Amidst all the violent winds and waves
It always came back
To the mouth of the shore
To me
I threw it back
Again and again
And again and again
It always came back
To me
Now, five years after
Here I am at the same shore
With another bottle
With the same message
I threw the bottle with all my might
Along with my fears and my insecurities
My dreams and my hopes
And the prospect of an eternal love
I stand at the shore
Watching it fade away
And hoping against hope
That this time
No matter how many years I will have to wait
You will come back to me.
