Dusk bleeds into the sea’s gray breath
Your hand in mine, sand clinging to our feet
We traced constellations on wet stones
You said “forever” – wind stole the rest
Salt kissed your hair, your laugh tangled in tide
Footprints fade like words I didn’t say
The horizon swallowed the sun’s last glow
I held you closer, afraid to let go
Waves carry your name to the silent shore
My heart’s a tide that won’t retreat
I stand where we stood, cold and wanting more
Goodbye tastes like sea and your heartbeat
Moon paints your shadow on the foam’s thin skin
I reach – it dissolves, just like you did
The ocean hums the song we used to sing
A lullaby for the love I can’t bid
Your windbreaker still smells like salt and jasmine
I fold it slow, as if you’ll walk through the door
The radio hums that old jazz tune
We danced to it, floor sticky with coastal dew
You said “the sea never truly leaves”
It just waits, patient, for the moon’s command
I watch the waves kiss the empty pier
And wonder if you’ll ever understand
Waves carry your name to the silent shore
My heart’s a tide that won’t retreat
I stand where we stood, cold and wanting more
Goodbye tastes like sea and your heartbeat
Moon paints your shadow on the foam’s thin skin
I reach – it dissolves, just like you did
The ocean hums the song we used to sing
A lullaby for the love I can’t bid
I’ll leave a shell where we used to sit
Carve our initials in its pearlescent core
The sea will keep it, safe from time’s harsh fit
A secret only salt and I adore
Someday the tide might bring you back
Till then, I’ll whisper to the waves each night
“I miss you” – carried on the wind’s soft track
A longing woven in the ocean’s light
Waves carry your name to the silent shore
My heart’s a tide that won’t retreat
I stand where we stood, cold and wanting more
Goodbye tastes like sea and your heartbeat
Dusk bleeds into the sea’s gray breath
I still reach for you – just like death
