Interpretation

Message in a Bottle writes liking someone as dropping a bottle in the sea — across an ocean, no knowing if it lands. Bright, hopeful, a rare light dance in the vault.

I love that 'send it even knowing it's far' innocence. Sometimes love just wants 'I put it out there,' right? Red TV turns it from 'a draft hidden nine years' into 'finally someone found the bottle' — the missing you wrote deserves a sea to catch it.
