I went to the beach today,
There are ruins and a small enclosed bay.

It once was an amusement park,
But the only thing left is a big mossy old stone arch.

I sat on the bench and watched the people and the lake,
A lot of family's where there playing ball and grilling stakes.

There was one couple that stood out to me,
It was a teenage boy and girl, they chased each other around the beach, they looked so happy and free.

They then flopped down into the soft sand and lay down and looked at the clouds above,
The boy held her hand and kissed her softly, a way to show his love.

They both then sat up and began to gather sand and make a sand castle,
They worked so gracefully and in sync, there wasn't even a hassle.

When they finished, they began to write in the sand:
" Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another."
They then signed their names and walked away hand in hand.

This put a smile on my face,
And put my heart in the right place.

'That is the true meaning of love.' I thought as I walked away,
And it gave me hope that I will have a relationship like that one day.
