We Write for Fear of Silence

Seaside Lovers

I want to play with your hair as
a mandarin and amethyst sunrise
Streaked with gold
Paints the sky around us

I want to walk barefoot on cobble stone paths
With sand between my toes while we laugh
And race each other to the ice cream truck

I want kisses on the beach in the fading light of dusk,
Under the gaze of seagulls
And the salty ocean breeze

As the sky turns the dusty blue
Of evening by the sea
I want to walk on the sand
And breathe in the cool air
When it smells like rain

I want to show you the stars,
My favorite constellations,
The night would be amaranthine
And you would call me lovely

There is nothing like stargazing with the
Ocean kissing your toes
It doesn't even matter that
Our clothes will get wet
We will be happy
We will be happy
