To Wave, Beautifully.

By Zenia Zaheer

I write when I think too much,

I write when I love too much.

But this time, it won’t stop—

my mind’s still full of you.

Oh, love,

I need you

like the ocean needs the wind

to wave beautifully.

But I’m scared—

what if one day you wake

and don’t need me?

My heart won’t stop its worrying

until I hear you laugh again,

until your words fill the silence,

like waves upon my shore.

Oh, love,

I need you

like the ocean needs the wind

to wave beautifully.

But I’m scared—

what if one day you wake

and don’t love me?

I’ll love you silently,

from here,

forever,

completely.

Oh, love,

I need you

like the ocean needs the wind

to wave beautifully…
