As your hand

Found mine

The sea hushed the sand

Our feet were buried in.

I breathed in the wet air

And your hair danced in it

And I longed to

Wrap myself around that moment.

I wish I could be swept away by the sea

Soft and cold and gritty

Because when you let me go

I didn’t want to stand in the sand anymore

Only leave the shore

Where you stood once

Watching me.
