Sand between my toes
My life without woes
The sun shined the brightest it has ever been
The sky, the bluest I have ever seen
It was the perfect afternoon
I thought it'd be forever but gone too soon
I heard the warning bell but I could not move
My feet were planted; I was frozen from where I stood
It felt as if I was inside a vacuum
All the air sucked out and I was doomed
The moisture in my lips
It disappeared as soon as I took the dip
Then the water receded from shore
The tides started to rise as I watch in horror
The peaceful waves suddenly turned into a monster
I tried to run but my soul was there no longer
My body felt numb from the pain
With my own tears, I drowned from within
My heart obliterated and my mind jaded
Thoughts of forever after have now faded
When it was all over, I was broken and alone
When reality set in, the emptiness chilled me to the bone
I whispered to myself, "Never again let reality get tangled up with the make believe,
Because when the dreaming ends, the pain aches with no reprieve..."
But I couldn't hate you no matter how hard I tried
I wish I could so it would be easier for me to say goodbye
Loving you is something that I will never regret
If I had do it again, I'd still wager on this losing bet
Another lesson learned...
Another armor earned...
But will I ever find forever?
I'll wait in vain and wonder…
