The waves gather stories at my feet
Whispering your name into the foam
Salted wind bends toward my longing
As though it knows where my heart has gone
Every tide carries pieces of yesterday
Yet your memory arrives whole
It presses against my chest like surf
Refusing to fade into plain water
My footsteps stray but the shore stays still
Holding a promise the world almost forgot
Your tenderness lingers in each grain
Glittering like a vow too stubborn to leave
Even in seasons that crack and shift
The sea hums your gentle devotion
A shore remembers the one I adore
Long after I drift beyond sight
