Forever

And I try to remember
the things that we saw
when the sun sizzled in the ocean
and our hunger started to gnaw

And hearts beat faster
under skies that were golden
and sand on the beach
was still warm as fog rolled in

And the waves were crashing
upon the rocks nearby
as my finger tips
wiped a salty tear from your eye

And the gulls were swooning
crying out as they passed
and we caught ourselves dreaming
how long would the moment last?

And I struggle now to remember
the scent that you wore
that drew me into you and
your body to explore

Gone is the taste of you
and sweetness of your lips
and I'm loosing sight of you
as my memory slips

There was a word
you whispered with fear
I'm your "forever"
still rings in my ear
