I stood there,
watching the gentle waves of the sea,
gently lapping at the warm sand.
The sun was beating down on my back,
feeling hotter than fire itself.

I looked around me,
and what I saw pleased me.
I saw you.
You were walking towards me,
wearing a grin stretching from ear to ear.

I smiled back,
eyes bright with life,
just like yours were.
What a beautiful day it was,
to be shared by all.

I'm crying now.
Crying for your soul and your spirit.
Those eyes, once so full of life,
they are no more.
But at least I still have these memories.
