I'm just going to leave this untitled.

Something small I wrote last year. I thought I could add onto it, but I like it the way it is:

Untitled

I still continue to miss you.
I continue to envision you in my future.
But I know that it means nothing
because you've already drifted
so far away from me.
I stood along the shore
calling out to you,
but you had become a speck
in the distant sun
as you floated over
the ocean of my dreams.
I'm left there struggling
with my heart
because there is a part of me that loves you to no end
and there is a part of me that wants to let go.
I tried to jump into the water after you,
but it was useless
as I nearly drowned myself
in our memories and
the thoughts of what we had wanted to be.
I somehow floated back to land.
I washed up, gasping for air,
and drenched in all the broken promises.
After laying on the sand for a while,
I sat up and stared out
at the setting sun,
the direction you were heading.
Yet as I felt the water gently wash up against me,
I breathed in hope
that one day the winds
will re-direct your route
and return you to me...
