Do you still remember me? That girl that you transformed into a woman? Do you remember the things that you told me? They have never left my mind. You have never left my heart. You told me to look into the sea when I felt homesick...when I missed you. I'm still here, waiting by the shore, but I can't find you. You've moved on into the depths of the city. I miss you desperately even though I know it is useless. I just wanted you to know that my heart still beats like a drum when I remember your face. My stomach becomes an entrapment of butterflies, ready to burst. Yet, I have learned how to live without you. Not that it is easy or that it doesn't hurt, but it is necessary. I want you to know that even though my body might go away from the shore, my heart and soul remain here waiting for you, by the sea. Waiting for the day that we can meet again. I fear and hope at the same time that we meet and that I fall for you again. People might have many weaknesses, but mine is but one and has a specific name: yours.
