In the silence of the water,
where golden fish sketch their dreams,
I sat upon your lap,
and the world grew small,
small enough to fit inside your words.

“They speak of legacy,” you said,
and your voice trembled with truth,
not with fleeting sweetness,
but with a future longing to root itself
like moss upon stone.

I laughed, thinking we were being too tender,
but your eyes stopped me:
“Mell, I mean it,
this is how I want our destiny to be.”

In that moment,
the Japanese garden became a promise,
the water kept its secret,
and the wind wrote upon the leaves
the desire for a forever.
