i want you to know it as i do not in a fleeting summer of youth its magic does not lie in the temporary and solitary days we spent apart those times it is a place that warms the heart where you can feel the sunshine in your skin and your lungs cannot fill with enough salt air it's the taste of back porch family BBQ's and the scent of the ocean on the salty rocks the things that never change... i can still see myself on the shores as a small girl dreaming of the day i would meet you my reflection is in the lighthouse, the shops, the amusement park... these things are my childhood memories, my soul i worry that the worst times that passed for us will still tarnish the best times of my youth when i return, it will be to family and familiarity to the long sands and the short sands and Brown's ice cream my foolish days are over and my heart is yours i will long for you on the beach like i used to before we met but this time, i will have the satisfaction of knowing that i will return to you, and to my heart's only home |
