Sandcastle Kind of Love
Everywhere I look,
I see a beach with our names on it.
With waves so inviting,
I almost want to go under,
And never resurface.
And the sand that was once warm,
is now cold between my toes,
the love that used to exist here so bittersweet,
I could mourn us forever.
I see the sunsets that we used to talk about,
fading in the distance,
reminding me it’s time to let go.
I know what I have to do,
but maybe I’m just not ready for the sun to set
on the love I loved most in the world.
Maybe I’m not ready to let the waves
carry away what’s left of us,
and settle at the bottom of the ocean.
I want us to have a sandcastle kind of love,
not the kind that sinks to the ocean floor,
never to be seen again.
