I’m sitting in the surf zone with some unrelenting waves
Glued to the coarse, tan sand below, it’s been like this for days

I sit and wait all by myself, knowing what will come next
A wave of love and missing you, the strength of which is flexed

It picks up speed and builds up strength and slams into my chest
My heart my soul my spirit too, gets violently oppressed

The wave moves by and I can breathe, a sudden calm sets in
But looking out I see what’s next, a new wave will begin

And this is how I spend my days, locked into the sand
Taking the brunt of each crashing wave, too much for me to stand

I dream of when we will rejoin, standing side by side
We’d feel so loved and full inside, the waves could be denied

Suddenly the tide would die, and we could stand at sea
Looking at the vast horizon, In love, we would be free

Free from the waves and endless pain, that comes without remorse
Free to carry on our lives, together, back on course
