the waves kissed the sand

such love was there in the way they said goodbye,
promising return and hope.

every rolling tide,
every grain of sand,
every sunkissed blessing of the sun.

they held onto each other

yet let go

all of their words
bleeding through paper
permanent in temporary ways

careless whispers graced their ears,
unidentifiable lies slipping past chapped lips

words like forever
or together
or just the two of us

because those words can never happen
with anyone except for the sun and moon
