Sail around the southern tip of Italy


We were

When we were together, we thought there was nothing in this world we couldn’t do. We were the best team. We completed each other.

We could travel from Bali to the highest point on the Everest.

We could watch the sunset on Paris, and wake up in Rome.

Sail around the southern tip of Italy, just for the fun of it, travel the world in our red talking boat. Just because we were together and we could do it. Simply because we would have loved to.

We thought there was nothing beyond our reach. No star was far enough to escape us, nor bright enough to overshadow your golden eyes.

Our love was warmer than all stars on the night sky.

I would have done anything to take you where you wanted to go, to make your dreams come true. To break all the walls you were trapped into.

And you, the most beautiful person in the universe, you talked to me of all the things I never thought I could even desire. You told me what I was capable of. You made me know what I was worth.

You were the one who first told me how gorgeous a person I was.

We can do anything, can’t we?

Dreaming back to those days, when I first talked to you, I catch a glimpse of what went wrong then… And what will forever go wrong.

We were too pure, dreamers of wonderful futures, stuck in a place with no future at all.

We never had a future.

We thought we could just go with it and find the place we needed to grow together, but we can’t.

We’re forever stuck here. We can’t go nowhere. We can’t do a thing.

We are no longer together.

I can’t follow you anymore.

I’m alone.

Lots of highs and lows in this one, and ends in a dark place. It's like a poem in paragraph form. Nice work!

I like those kind of poems. Thank you very much, hope you liked it.

Thanks for giving a valuable feedback! That is one of the positive side effects of the challenge.

Orii, me gustó el poema :) casualmente también me tocó uno de Percy Jackson, cuál es el tuyo? El mío es The Son of Neptune (:

The House of Hades! jajaja era ese o uno de Harry Potter, si contaba del otro lado, pero el de HP esta en español, y la Página 7 solo tenia la dedicatoria de JKR.
