I

 

The beach was once our special place,

Now, the breeze reminded me of us.

The laughter, the kisses, and the hugs we shared,

The nights were long; the sheets were empty.

My soul was bare, my thoughts were hazy, filled with thee,

The memories: the wonderful, the unpleasant, and the adequate.

They weighed down on me, clouding my judgment,

Just like you trampled on my emotions.

 

II

 

I tried to break free from the urge to run and jump into your arms,

I moved on, but did I move on?

My heart yearns for the new and I’m hopeful for the best it brings,

I need to breathe in love; I want the freedom it offers.

The trust it entails and the peace it brings,

The serenity, the tranquility, I want it all.

I want to be selfish in love,

And generous to the one I truly love.

 

III

 

I open the window in my heart’s chamber,

Knowing some things and people must shatter.

For beauty to emerge, hopeful I remain,

Soon, the stars within will light my way again.

He would see my worth even in the darkest rooms,

He was lighting them up for me.

In opening my heart’s window wide,

I await the one to declare love’s guide.

 

IV

 

And then sometimes I looked at the sky,

I was hoping that one day with you.

I will lie on the seashore, relaxing to the rhythm of the waves,

Watching the sunrise and the sunset.

Until we gave a star a name to represent our love,

And watched it shine every night.

As we unwind on the seaside to identify more stars,

That shines brightly because of our love.

 

V

 

My heart would beat to the rhythm of thee,

I’d lay before thee and cherish thee.

I will steal a second chance, a gift that fate bestows,

And love more until this life path’s closes.

With each kiss, with each embrace, our love blossoms,

A love so pure, so warm, so passionate, so strong, and so true.

And together, we will journey through life’s maze,

Hand in hand in love filled with daze.

 

VI

 

I shall walk and run on the beach again, unfazed by the breeze,

I shall pick up the shells that glow and wait eagerly.

While hoping and wishing for the one who is meant for me,

Whose love shall be passionate, romantic, sweet, exciting, and genuine.

Patience comes with the most significant surprise,

And if we meet again, in love’s warm and sweet embrace.

Then let us never part again,

And cherish every memory with each other.
