The boy that once was

Standing on the sand
Ill hold you tight, kiss your head
And say goodnight
The moon is full
Ships in motion move across a great expanse with purpose
In a few hours that seemed like seconds
the sun burns warm against your face
Reflected in your eyes is my heart
You know you had me from the start
With smiles on our faces
We set our feet on a path that is only at the start

Standing on the sand where we first met
The moon is still full
Ships still seemingly move across a great expanse
The sun still rises above the horizon
Only lasting longer than before
The setting is the same except you…
In this silence
My insides scream out to a world
That’s taken you from me
Hoping that you will hear me scream
Ill stay a little longer
Looking back hoping to see you
You never came
With my finger ill write your name with a message in the sand
Coming back everyday hoping for your reply
I stand and sigh
It would feel better to die
I remember the days you made me feel so alive

It takes all I am to believe that ill be fine without you
I don’t know how I got here
And I don’t know how you got there
I just hope your fine
Looking across the sand
I see a boy that once was,
Once was needed
Once was yours
Once was everything
Once was loved
