Tides wrote quiet lines of code
beneath the whisper of the sand
your touch became the secret ode
my trembling soul could understand
We stood where oceans met the night
in breaths of salt and drifting haze
our shadows linked in shifting light
like blended ink on ancient phrase
Your pulse became a subtle guide
through shores where fragile hopes had slept
I felt the dark of years subside
each time your steady closeness stepped
Let tides preserve the script we made
let moonlight bind each written part
the sea may wash where words once laid
yet none can cleanse you from my heart
