The Ocean's Vow

a promise into eternity

By Zakari RungePublished 4 months ago Updated 3 months ago 4 min read
i will always be right here :)

I have a promise, like the ocean’s song,

A vow that’s lived within me all along.

Not a quiet whisper, but a call so true,

A love that grows with everything we do.

The ocean’s vast, its waves so wide,

Endless horizons on every side.

And just like the tides, my heart will roam,

But always, always, I’ll find my way home.

This is my promise to you.

No matter where the waves may bend,

No matter how far we may sail,

No matter how soft or harsh the gale,

I’ll always return, no matter the span,

Because with you, I feel I’m always in the right place, in the right plan.

We’ve shared so much already, my heart,

Our laughter, our dreams, the moments that start

Every new chapter of this adventure -

We’ve only just begun, our greatest treasure.

And I can see it now, so vividly clear,

The world we’ll discover, year after year.

There will be days when the winds feel light,

When we chase the sunrise, soft and bright,

And other days, when the storms may roar,

But we’ll stand strong, hearts ready for more.

For there’s nothing that can break us apart -

Not the highest tide, nor the deepest heart.

The ocean calls us, to lands unknown,

To places where only we have grown.

The salty air, the ocean spray,

Will guide us on every single day.

We’ll dive into waters, rich and blue,

Chasing every horizon, just me and you.

Our days will stretch like the golden sands,

The way they shift between our hands.

We’ll walk the shores, we’ll chase the tides,

We’ll climb the cliffs where the eagle flies.

The sun will set and paint the sky,

And I’ll look at you with a glint in my eye.

Every wave will carry our laughter far,

And every sunrise will be our star.

We’ll dance on beaches where the sea foam rolls,

With hearts that speak, with souls that stroll.

Our hearts will echo with the sea’s own beat,

And every adventure will feel so sweet.

You and I, we’ve got so much ahead,

Countless trails, paths to be tread.

Through jungles thick, across the deep blue,

There’s no one else I’d want to see it through.

We’ll sail the seas, we’ll trek the land,

We’ll hold each other’s hearts in hand.

I wear this necklace close to me,

A reminder of all our days, all we’ve yet to be.

It’s not just a charm, not just a piece of gold -

It’s a symbol of our friendship, strong and bold.

It’s a piece of the ocean, our endless sea,

A reflection of you and of me.

Our talks, our laughs, our endless rambles,

All of them are captured in this simple strand.

Through every adventure, every crazy dream,

Through all the moments that made us gleam,

This necklace holds our memories, our bond,

A love that’s deeper than words beyond.

In the quiet mornings, with soft sea breeze,

We’ll watch the world wake, feeling at ease.

We’ll sit in the glow of the moonlit night,

Talking of dreams that take us to flight.

The ocean’s rhythm, the steady tide,

Will remind me that you’re always by my side.

And yes, sometimes the storms will come,

But like the ocean, we’ll never succumb.

We’ll weather each one, come what may,

For after the rain, the sun finds its way.

Our days, like the waves, will come and go,

But in every moment, our hearts will grow.

The sands will shift, the winds will change,

But our vow remains, ever the same.

Like the tides that rise and fall,

Our warmth, our friendship, will stand tall.

And with every journey, every step we take,

The ocean’s vow will never break.

You are the sun that warms my soul,

The one who makes my spirit whole.

Through all the ups, through all the downs,

You lift me up when I start to drown.

You make the dark skies turn to blue,

You are the calm I find in you.

And I can never fully explain

How much it means to have you in my life.

You’ve been there through all the highs,

The quiet moments, the whispered sighs,

And in every chapter, in every line,

I’ll hold this close.

Thank you for being my coastline true,

For being my anchor when the world feels askew.

Thank you for being the one I call,

Through every season, through every fall.

I could never find the words to say,

How much you’ve done to brighten my day.

So here’s to our days, our endless road,

To the waves that pull, to the winds that blow.

We’ll write new stories, we’ll make new songs,

And together, we’ll walk where the ocean belongs.

For with you, my friend, the world’s our stage,

A never-ending adventure, a beautiful page.

The ocean’s vow is what I give -

To you, my friend, as long as I live:)
