The summer is gone
and it’s been a minute
since the warmth from the sun
was enough to bronze the skin
I know . . .
My feelings for the seaside moments
will be with me until the day that I die.
I’m sure.
Of course, I’m sure.
At the same time,
if it were my choice
people like you and I would never die
because the truth is –
I could live forever
wherever the tides come in
and out
and allow me to forget
that you and I were once
forgotten.
