The tide pulled me in. I couldn't help it. I didn't know. I was asleep when it happened. It was not my intention to awaken upon your shore.
But here I am.
I'm afraid I couldn't tell you how I got here. I think I was on a ship, once, that possibly wrecked. It's been so long ago I don't remember.
My, if feels strange to walk again! For days and weeks - and maybe months - I wished for dry land, to stop moving....
I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but will you hug me? It's been so long, you see, since there was anyone else. Just me and the wreckage.
This is your island, isn't it? If it's not I'll need to see who's in charge. I don't want to intrude on paradise. Is this paradise? I truly hope so. I dreamed of that place once. A place that is beautiful. Is it beautiful here? I really can't tell because it's bobbing like I was in the water and it's making me dizzy...
I'll just go if I'm bothering you, if I'm in the way. I didn't mean to take up so much of your time, it's just.... It's great to see you. I love you for being a person that's alive. Hands, eyes, face, lungs, heart - it all moves. Thanks for being here. Thanks for being alive. Can I follow you to where ever you're going? I would hate to be alone again...
I promise I'll be quiet as long as I can watch you breathe...
