Turtle

Splash

Splash

Laughter filled the watery trench

Splash

Splash

Questions arise in my mind

Whispers travel down my spine

Curiosity derailed my thought

Turning my head and my eyes

I witnessed a ghost perhaps?

Nothing was there but wind

Splash

Splash

I felt the warm body of another

Holding onto me with fear

Scared if they let go

It’ll end my year

Looking up at the man so strong

A tear befell my eye

Such beautifully green eyes he has

He asked “did you know that they say that trench is haunted?”

Speechless in his arms

I wipe away my tears

Burying my head in his chest

I say to this man with all my being

“How could you save me? I am a ghost after all.”

His last words to me before I disappeared was

“Even if you forget me a million times everyday. I will save you a million and one. Because everytime you see my turtle green eyes I know you love me all over again. So forgive me my love, for not saving you the one time it mattered.”
