Lighthouse



How much weight should I assign to the subtle cues you seem to be leaving for me? Are my instincts truly aligned with you, as they appear to be? Or have I been swept away by the torrent of emotions that enveloped me when our gazes first met? It’s as though, no matter where my thoughts may roam, a mere wave and greeting from you can effortlessly coax a genuine smile from my lips. Neglecting this phenomenon feels like an oversight, especially considering how minimally others influence me in our surroundings. Fueled by curiosity, I’m steadfast in my belief that I can’t surmount these sentiments without diving fully into their depths.

In the realm of our shared experiences, this world is anything but flawless, and our ability to control the timing of events eludes us. Yet, fate takes on an almost cruel aspect as you step into my life, just as I’ve dedicated myself to another. Suppressing these unfiltered emotions is not just a challenge but inherently problematic, needlessly contributing to the waves of anxiety that surge. Taking that initial stride is an act of courage in itself when uncertainty clouds the ground beneath your feet.

I find myself adrift on a cloud woven from threads of fantasies, yearning for the moment I might find myself close to you. My optimism remains unshaken, yet it’s crucial to remember that hope alone doesn’t wield the power to ignite transformation.

Each ticking second elongates into an endless ribbon, as if time conspires to test our patience. The urgency to act gains momentum, much like a tempest growing in strength on the horizon, urging me to navigate these uncharted waters before they become insurmountable.

Yet, my heart’s voyage remains uncharted, sailing through the storm with steadfast resilience. I’m drawn to you like a moth captivated by a flame, longing to land where our worlds converge seamlessly. The ebb and flow of emotions echo the dance of competing winds, each striving to chart a distinct course. Amidst this emotional tumult, my inner compass remains unwavering, directed by the constant promise of possibility.

As I navigate this sea of emotions, I’m resolute in charting a course through uncertainty, propelled by the fervent hope that one day, we’ll stand on shores where the tides of destiny no longer wield control.
