Crystal Blue

This photo was captured on May 31, 2018. 08:21 am. In Papua, Indonesia.

He was just like this ocean. It was crystal blue, the color I love. It was clear, no dirt, no garbage, yet I still could not look through it from the surface to the bottom.

He was like this blue sea. It was only blue in there. Whether I stored it into a bottle, it turned to different color immediately.

He was like this beautiful saltwater. It was so far away from where I belonged to, calm, and no shorelines. But if I happened to fall into it, I knew I would never be able to get out of it without helping hand.

He was like this natural water park. He gave me nostalgia, so it could haunted me later that I had to remember him for that.

But he was not like this pale blue ocean which I could gravitate to the bottom of it till I lost my breath. He just kept pushing me back to where I belonged to, every time I had tried to dive in.

Blue Ocean


[... I love where the ocean go blue and green at the same time, except a morning of June 02, 2018 ...]

That crystal blue ocean
Witnessed our story
That wooden bunk beds 
Kept secret you and me
That rough mountain rocks 
Stored our mystery 
Fear
Desire
And risky

Only the moon heard my dread
When my light went flickering 
Only the dock felt my weight 
When my heart lost its wings
Only the boat saw my truth
When my tear dripped out of my skin
And
Pretended 
Like nothing.
