The Ocean and the Moon
She was the ocean.
He was the moon.
And she loved him
in the only way she knew how—
completely.
Every night,
she reached for him with her waves,
even though she knew
she could never touch him.
She thought maybe
if she loved him long enough,
he would choose her.
But he was always looking at the stars.
So she cried.
She cried until her tears
became part of her.
Until they filled her up
and made her water taste like salt.
And that's why the ocean is salty.
Because sometimes
you can cry for someone
for so long
that the sadness becomes
a part of who you are.
