I went to the beach once When I was with you We stood waist-deep in water-rippled sun The beauty was blinding Our visions unwinding Into an adventure just begun I thought we'd be young forever Irrational love endeavor Giggles and laughter In the back of my mind I saw you with me on the other side You buried a treasure You told me it's out there For someone else we never told I got the edge of my shorts wet My mom was mad at me after We were just a decade old Every day is like the sand Passing moments numberless Used to journey hand in hand I still love you nonetheless Silly me, caught in a strand Of memories I can't suppress To wander and explore the land For the same truth we could never guess If I had known it was then or never Told myself it could still get better But we had nothing then to hide Too scared to lose, I guess I tried How come I feel this tender-eyed? How much of me to keep inside…? I knew I did what I always had done Every day is like the sand Passing moments can't be numbered No one here to hold my hand I rest in an uneasy slumber Wasn't ever what we'd planned But years have gone and here I stand The playground flowers have withered since Your hands were last in mine In solitude the days commence I've loved you then and always hence I search in me still for a better sense Of coping with the emptiness Sunlit warmth, and the comfort of cotton All of these weeks, I had long since forgotten The innocence of love amidst trusted friends Seems different now, than it was back then
