the sea.

the sea, it stands between you and me.

slowly kissing the shore.

you breathe, and i take a sigh.

both knowing we wanted more.

you utter something that i can't quite hear.

it slips over the expanse of the sea.

i just wave in a pathetic attempt.

musing over thoughts of what could be.

the mist brushes my face and the salt burns my throat.

dripping down the coast for you.

swaying in and out of the tides.

tonight, let me be one with its blue. 

i try to cross the cresting water to you.

but the current drags me far too deep.

a tear gets swallowed by the sea,

and all i can find to do is weep.

the sea, it will always stand between you and me.

slowly kissing the shore.

you breathe, and i take a sigh.

both knowing we wanted more.
