Leaning

i walk with my memories
like grains of sand
they are everywhere
pouring in and out of my marrow
the surf delivers an eager beating to my pink toes
sliding lazily back to sea, yet all too soon
i want to chase it into the horizon
surely i would find a reflection of my former self
swimming with the regret and faded dreams
dripping with salt and longing
but i walk
searching the hollow places of my soul
filling hungry lungs with thoughts of your face
i have become
more than i thought was possible
thanks entirely to your existence
here on the beach
in my self-important solitude
i am still leaning on you
