Like waves crashing upon an empty beach,
the ocean’s shade matches my feelings; blue
I grasp at happiness, just out of reach
My head cluttered with memories of you

The tide pulls me farther away from shore
I’m drowning, but not struggling for air
Choking on the times that we shared before
Sinking in this endless sea of despair

The ocean turns to green, a softer shade
The waves glitter in the light of the sun
My heart’s memories of you begin to fade
The next chapter in my book has begun

You occupied my mind for far too long
It’s time I turn my back and move along
