As I gaze upon the sea
I thought of only you and me.
The love that could have drowned an anthem
a love so deep we could not fathom.
I recall these days of old
when dreams were bright and waters cold
when silent breeze with fingers icy
would brush your hair ever so slightly.
Ceaseless waves would pound the shore
when once we were, but nevermore.
At that place where land met sea
with water lapping at our feet
even now that you're away
I pace the shore to waste the day.
By the beach we always ran
scarring footprints in the sand
the memories ingrained in time
now washed away amidst the brine.
I choke down water with ever breath.
Since you have gone, there's nothing left.

As I gaze upon the sea
I thought of only you and me.
The love that could have drowned an anthem
a love so deep we could not fathom.
I recall these days of old
when dreams were bright and waters cold
when silent breeze with fingers icy
would brush your hair ever so slightly.
Ceaseless waves would pound the shore
when once we were, but nevermore.
At that place where land met sea
with water lapping at our feet
even now that you're away
I pace the shore to waste the day.
By the beach we always ran
scarring footprints in the sand
the memories ingrained in time
now washed away amidst the brine.
I choke down water with ever breath.
Since you have gone, there's nothing left.
