"A Memory"

A breaker here, and now

a pause.

A second wave here, and with it

a pause.

I met someone a long time ago; we were young.

But we were ready to be something more.

A third wave, and with it,

a pause.

A fourth wave, and with it,

a pause.

This is not about being different; it's about enjoyment.

For us, it was about living under the sea.

A fourth wave, and with it,

a pause.

A fifth wave, and with it,

a pause.

To us, it was a miracle of a thing; water, all around.

We didn't know what we had, then.

A sixth wave, and with it,

a pause.

A seventh wave, and with it,

a pause.

But I know now what it is I have missed; the first look.

The first glance, the first shimmering of an ocean sound.

An eighth wave, and with it,

a pause.

A seventh wave, and now,

a pause.
