Letters Across Oceans

Across the oceans, I send you letters,

Little pieces of my heart folded into paper,

Carried by waves of hope that maybe,

One day, you will hold them gently in your hands.

I imagine the journey they make to reach you—

Through quiet mornings, through distant winds,

Through skies that stretch wider than our dreams.

Every letter begins with your name,

Written softly, like a whisper only you can hear.

I write about the days that feel too long,

About nights where the moon seems to speak your thoughts,

About moments when your memory arrives

Like a warm breeze touching my face.

I write slowly, carefully,

Letting each word find its place,

Because these letters must travel far,

Across waters that keep our worlds apart.

But distance cannot silence feelings

That move like tides—steady, patient, true.

Sometimes I wonder if you read them

On quiet afternoons by the sea,

Or under the soft glow of evening light,

Where the world feels small and gentle.

Do you smile at my words?

Do you pause at the lines that hold my longing?

Do you feel me reaching for you

Even from miles away?

The ocean between us is wide,

But my letters carry bridges made of hope.

They bring the sound of my thoughts,

The color of my dreams,

And the softness of moments

I wish I could share with you in person.

I imagine your reply traveling back to me,

Crossing waves that sparkle under the sun,

Bringing your voice in ink and paper,

Telling me your days, your thoughts,

And the quiet parts of your heart

You trust only to the sea and me.

Distance may separate our footsteps,

But it cannot stop words

That know how to travel farther

Than we ever could.

Letters become our meeting place,

Where hearts stay close

Even when our worlds stand far apart.

So I keep writing,

Letting the ocean carry my hope,

Sending pieces of myself

To wherever you are.

And until the day we stand

On the same shore again,

My letters will keep crossing waves—

Searching for you,

Reaching for you,

Loving you gently

Across the endless blue.
