Golden Sands

Even my shadow doesn’t follow me. 

No direction could lead me to a nirvana .

Happiness was always temporary. 

Until I met you —

Although I was made of ashes, you saw me as a phoenix .

You are a language I understood, like the memories of my childhood.

We collided like two stars in space, an unlikely occurrence.

The reflection of your soul resides in the raindrops that fall upon my window. 

How lucky am I? To be a part of that storm, that carried me to you .

You hold my heart so delicately in your hands, like the warmth of golden  sands.

One becomes two–

I found home within you.
