We walked along the shore
She and I
Talking and laughing
Saying words that meant something
Something more
We shared emotions
Feelings
Thoughts that carried us further along
It was a beautiful day
Sun was shining
Gentle breeze
The smell of the ocean
Bare feet leaving a trail
Finding beautiful shells along the way
Everything was wonderful
Amazingly so
And then I did something
Something stupid
Foolish
I hurt her feelings
Clouds came in
Her sea raged
Storm clouds brewed
I was in the middle of her tempest
Told to be quiet and wait it out
It is not something I do well
Not at all
I walked into her sea and raged at her nature
Expecting respect
Getting none
Only more rage
A tsunami of anger
Raised up before me
I both stood my ground and asked for forgiveness
I have my own nature
But it is too late
The sea took her back
All I have are left are memories
Fading footprints in the sand
And heartache
She was beautiful to behold
She was more than a friend
More that I could ever have dreamed of
Now she is no more
I’ll stand on the shore and remember her
A little while longer
See if the tides bring her back
But it gets chilly here at night
Cold and lonely
And it looks likely that she will never return
Hands in my pockets I dream of what might have been
And cry
Tears littering the sand
She was too much for me to hold
I have to let her free
She is a force of nature that cannot be confined
The sad truth
I love her still
Always
The walk back to the road will take forever
The dunes are high and I am weary
No other way
One foot in front of the other
Good bye my love
I cannot stay any longer
Or the pain of knowing you will carry me out to sea
On the cliff
I take one last look
Moon shining on the waves
Say a prayer for dead loves
Walking down the road
Trying to forget
How much I hurt
Maybe tomorrow
Not likely
But I have hope
Now even more
Because I have felt love stronger
Stronger than ever before
Both ruined and reborn
Good bye my love
