Countless breaths

        We have spent many a night on this shrill earth
In our own tiny, silent world
Only to be confined to this mute space
             of you and I

        We come and go as we please
        But now...here we are
Silent again
Alone in our world
Cresting the peak of years gone
But not forgotten
Never to be forgotten
As long as our souls can still reminisce

Every night puts me back on that beach
Where our own tiny world was born
Where the love of you and I came about
         But look...here we are
Countless moments later
Still building up steam
Still making moments priceless

So please, take me back
Return me here and I'll always look back
              I have to
I always return there at heart
With you by my side
Never letting go

Praying you'll never let me go
And hoping this never changes
          I know it won't
Just give it time and soon we'll return
              If you believe
