On the edge of spring’s promise
Strolling barefoot as if it were summer
Our fingers clasped, shoes around our necks
We set out like two foolish lovers
Ignoring the world, spoiled in love
Muddled footprints in cold damp sand
Leading to a pier where we quenched lust
Talking and kissing with euphony ripples
We were just a normal girl and boy at heart
Acting like we held all the answers
To questions we weren’t prepared for
Our best response was hugs and laughter
And importantly relying on one another
We whispered all our dreams
On fleeting rays of those rusty sun
Who knew, we’d stumble into
“I don’t care” for every question
Long before we went our separate ways
We should’ve held onto those sun-rays
And the one our love always counted on
Did you ever get, all you wished;
When you left me for him;
And life on the other side in greener pastures;
Before the start of my winter?
Its hard for me to know now, girl
A lifetime and realms apart
Unless you can still here my whispers
In this crispy silent suspension
Sitting here, on that same cold beach
My breath in the air, watching ice recede
Still living on the wrong side…of us
