12th of March

Maybe my love wasn’t as clear as the first time I saw her
Maybe it was because of the beauty that left a trail in my soul
Because of the gentle embrace of the wind drifting beside me
Because of its comforting presence
The shade beneath a giant tree, reassuring just like the memories of loved ones.
Maybe it’s because of the delicate but destructive waves colliding through its own reflection
Maybe it’s watching the sun drifting away through the horizon
Because of the connection between nature and humans, showing emotions through actions
Connection of being strong but weak
A bond of nature intertwined with an ordinary girl, me
Maybe it’s the sound of a limitless ocean beyond measures, taking piece by piece and restoring a heart
Because nature brought me light when all I saw was rain
The 12th of March, when I saw a glimpse of what I knew I would forever love
Because it’s left an everlasting footprint in my heart
