Anchor

It's for my first love, that I'll never forget.

Anchor

You were the proof

that I am lovable,

a quiet beacon in the storm

that whispered I am worthy.

Losing you feels like

losing my anchor.

And when it breaks,

I fear I’ll drift away,

pulled by currents of memory and longing,

until I drown in everything

we have ever been.

Each wave that rises in my chest

carries the weight of you,

the warmth of your gaze,

the softness of your shoulder,

the stolen moments we never spoke aloud.

Every heartbeat echoes your name

and refuses to let go.

I will remember you,

knowing it was never your fault.

You were never the reason for my sinking,

only the reason I learned how deeply

I could feel,

and how fiercely I could love.

The dark closes in,

but still I replay our memories,

fragile lanterns in the shadow,

each one glowing with the laughter

we shared,

the silent understanding in a look,

the heartbeat that matched mine

without a word spoken.

I remember the small sofa in the back of the room,

your hand brushing mine by chance,

and the way my heart raced

like it had found home for the first time.

I remember the photobooth flashes,

capturing our joy in tiny squares

that now feel like pieces of eternity.

Time has stretched and pulled us apart,

yet when I see you,

our eyes still find each other,

and the world narrows to that instant

when nothing else exists

but the echo of our first love.

Until the light fades,

until I lose you forever,

I will carry you inside me,

not as a shadow,

but as proof that love is real,

and that I am capable

of being seen,

of being cherished,

of being loved beyond measure.

Even if the tide pulls me far,

even if the years stretch between us,

even if I must let you walk paths I cannot follow,

your love remains my anchor,

my guiding light,

and the proof

that I am, and always will be,

worthy of love.

Love can make us feel we're finally able to breath beneath the water. And it is calm, and magical there ✨️
