Salt was dripping from the sky

in this city, this heart of mine,

where you and I met two summers ago,

and you whispered promises to me

under silk sheets, where heavy nights

turned to daylight before our eyes;

we never slept much - I didn't want to,

no dream could be as beautiful as you

and this love that captivated me,

lit me up like fireworks we watched

hand in hand, cold water splashing

at our ankles, the sea reaching out for us;

I never blinked, because I knew

it would be over so soon—

even in the midst of it, I knew

it was far too good to ever be true.
