I was scared to go here and there
but you whispered to my ear
with a voice so gentle yet
the words so courageous
That pushed me out
of where I wandered aimlessly
You believed in me
whether it is my illusion or not
We complement each other
like moonlight and a starry night
I was afraid to jump into the future
an ocean full of unknown tides,
creatures, secrets and deep sunk ships,
a new world veiled in disguise
But you told me not to be afraid
to dive into that ocean of unknown
You showed me not to dwell upon
consequences I could not foresee
I call you
my strength
The one that easily disappears
a particular part of me I see
only sometimes
but comes back for sure
