Dear Water Goddess,

I am in love with you.

I have prayed for you to hear my calls,
For you to understand my words.

I have gotten on my ship and sailed to every direction just to find you,
I am still searching for you.
However it seems that I always arrive to late,
And you have already made your way somewhere else, with someone else.

I stay awake at night staring at maps to plan my next spot to search for you.
All I have are peaces of you that you have left for me,
And the memories I hold.

Days, weeks, and months go by and I keep searching.
Today's date causes me to halt my search and sail to an island for me to think and be alone,
For today's date brings nothing but unsettling thoughts and depressing feelings,
Thoughts of how another sailor must be spending time with you, enjoying your presence,
And the horrible thought that I might never have that joy.
So I stay in my island mostly incapacitated, in order to ignore these thoughts.

I do not wish to worry you,
My only wish is to share the small time we have on this planet together with bliss and joy.

So I write this letter, place it in a bottle and send it off to the open waters,
In hope it will reach you and would let you know that I am thinking of you.

Love The Lonely Sailor.
