Dear stranger (the sea)

Dear stranger,

Don't waste your days waiting for the summer to come. Enjoy the winters that are given to you, no matter how dark they seem. And remember that if you survive the winter, I reassure you that the summer will be your resurrection.

Look towards the sea, because the sea is the place you'll find the escape that you're seeking. Even in the winter. 

And please keep in mind that whenever you reach the sea-shore, I will be standing on another shore miles away, but it will be as if we're together.

I wish you well,

-A
