Across these lonely shores I've been,
Countless times before,
Tracing lines into the sand,
To connect to something more.
I write a name to shape a face,
And reflect in shades of gray,
How it felt to see this place,
With others here to stay.
I remember all,
And all to well,
I recall a simple smile,
Telling me to just relax,
And reminisce awhile.
And who am I to deny these ghosts?
They soothe my soul with ease,
So I sit down to have a chat,
With my old memories.
But all good things must come to end,
Or so the saying goes,
I say goodbye to my old friends,
And remember that I'm alone.
