A dialogue in the drift

I was there, a place I never conquered before, a virgin land, no memories, no history, a land of escape, but not to hide, a rest after the battle. 

I resided on a rock facing the furious ocean, in the midst of the night, in the deepest depth of the night, I sighed out my worries through the deepest depth of my breath. 

I needed this peace; not that I have won the battle, but that I have forgiven, I wondered if that was the plan, I even didn't mind, I drifted again, as usual being a drifter. 

I was in peace even that I'm shredded, and torn apart, but still not in worry, my breaths were smooth not in a hurry, it felt determined, but not anymore mysterious, no tears were anymore struggling to escape, and no laughters were ready to summon, I was immersed in peace, no turns to the back or ahead; rather it was to my within. 

There was a presence on another rock, my heart sensed being a she, a human who resembles my human within, somehow drifted too and there we met; in the drift. 

We appeared so ready, she contemplated me the very same way I did, and both smiled. 

What led us here she said? 

I replied the wisdom I guess. 

But it took us much of pain and tears, she interrupted. 

And appreciation, I said. 

I lost hope! 

Me too, I thought I did. 

But why here and now she asked? 

To be free, I replied. 

You seem peaceful, intrigued she was! 

Certainly I am, but not less than you. 

I see we came from far away. 

And opposite routes, I interrupted. 

I know you believe it's wise. 

But I care no more! 

What about the pain? 

Soon it will resolve. 

And time? 

Soon it will refrain. 

I wiped my tears today and locked my heart yesterday. 

I thought I died long time ago. 

I ask you now how was the ride?

Trembling like a scared child abandoned in the dark, she replied. 

What about the lessons learned, I asked again? 

It just brought me here. 

Now I finally believe you exist. 

I was sure you do. 

I smelled your flesh everyday. 

I followed your shadow, I said. 

And I was always one step behind, she replied, then paused what's next, she asked? 

I guess it's time! 

Time for what, she exclaimed? 

Time to join our paths. 

So this is the final start?  

Yes, and will never part. 

I lost everything finding you! 

To start fresh, I said.
