Trust me, I tell the reflection in front of me, it ripples back with a smirk, are you serious?

I look at myself out of the water, to wash my face from everything but water.

I can feel the salt, the way the world makes you feel, to taste that too, is important, I introspect.

I believe in you, I look back and tell the reflection. A stone appears and breaks the ripple. Yet, in turn it saves me from drowning.

The Universe teaches me, a step back sometimes is the most important for the ninety nine forward.
