I write from time to time, either poetry or short stories about photos I take as I go, this is one of my favorite little poems that is very close to my heart. It is okay to need solitude, it is okay to want time alone.
This is for all the free spirited hearts.
If I stroll down a deserted beach in winter,
If I choose alone nights with a book,
If I hear the fire cracking only for me
It does not mean I’ll run from you.
Because I still dream of moments in solitude,
when I hear nothing but the shore,
if I don’t want to share a sunset,
it doesn’t mean that I’m not yours.
It only adds value to the moments
I spend alone,
not having to worry about another,
having time all to my own.
If I look at the mountains, deep in rainy days,
if I choose birds to tell my stories,
if I walk alone in the rain
just know, I’ll come back to you again.
Nice way to explain
Thank you! Sometimes, all you really need is some alone time.
Beautiful Tattoo! Where are you from?
