Sunset.
Shards of seashells and the whites of waves all illuminated.
Beautiful things remind me of you.
2
Tonight my family went out on the beach,
that some author called the cheek of God,
but the sky was black.
I watched my siblings dance with glow bracelets around their wrists and ankles
and do cartwheels in the pitch dark
and my parents laughed at the flying disk.
3
I felt sad remembering that one day
this wouldn't be my life.
And one day
I wouldn't have a life.
4
The stars looked like O'Ryan's bow or something.
They offered me a wish
so I wished that you were next to me
hip to hip, sandy skin.
5
You are 499mi away tonight,
but soon enough, you'll be holding me,
and then I'll be sad thinking that one day,
you won't be in my life,
and I won't have a life.
6
I try to think about you and I.
I wonder about the life I'll have when
it's not my life anymore.
I try to imagine my own children,
and loving people I've never met.
7
Time stops when you kiss me.
I'm happy.
You taste like eternity.
