IN the distant horizon where sea merges with sky, I pensively ponder of times past, when you and I, Held hands like sweethearts and lovers, And left footprints in the sand, But time passes, and you are no longer here to hold my hand, The sea still thrusts towards the shore, And watching, awakens memories of you once more, My eyes glisten with tears unshed, As past memories unfold inside my head, Of all the things we used to do, Are you silently watching?
