Love like Waves

It might sound clique,

But I promise you will sway

To the sound of intimate waves.

It comes rushing-

The memories and the heartaches.

When you were running barefoot

On the warm sand that you did not seem to mind to stick to your foot.

You laughed a loud, tinkling laugh

As I built a raft on the shore.

You did not know what for,

For you couldn’t ask for more,

And I felt inclined to one day take you away.

You and I would sail far away,

Where there was only laughter forevermore.

But it didn’t last long and you were swept away

By the lashing current of the waves.

I tried to save you, but your hands slipped

And I am left to bear the memories and heartache

Alone.

It might sound clique

And it might be late,

But

I love you

Yet, lost you

To the sound of the waves.
