do you remember the days
we watched planes,
take off from the water with such ease
and the loved poured from us effortlessly
do you remember the ocean mist in our eyelashes
and the way you held me in your coat,
to protect me from the cold
do you remember the silence on the peer,
you said it was so quiet you could hear me smiling
do you remember the happiness we felt,
when you were back on the coast,
together we made home
we built it with the  warmth of our souls
and our tangled fingers
and our longing bones
you left me on this dreary coast
waiting for you to build our home
i can't build anything alone
let alone when i'm cold
