Do you remember the day
We stood on the banks
of Lake Michigan
With the wind in our hair
and the sun on our skin
Plastering smiles on our faces
that stretched miles wide and
stuffing our pockets
full of sea shells

And it amazed me because
it was then that I realized your eyes
were like sunshine and your hands
held things as heavy as my heart
and as weightless as my breath,

almost as weightless as the way
you leftme when you wrapped
me up in your arms
and kissed me
with the waves as our audience,
crashing against the rocks in applause
as we were not the first lovers who
left kisses at the lake,

And we will not be the last
