And she lingered in his heart, Like the voice of the sea, that stayed for an eternity in the ears of seashells that lay on a sandy shore. Her breath stayed on his skin, Hitting him every time harder than the last, As if the waves' foam, slowly sinking in the damp sand, Lingered for a lifetime on the surface. Nothing but beautiful seashells remained As the storm took away serenity of that golden sand. Of those perfect waves.
