The cold gray night
slowly melts into a warm pink dawn
as we wake to find ourselves
close to one another.
Your touch is soft
as is the cool seashore sand below.
The waves wash the beach
into a cold blank slate
and almost touching our toes
sink back into the marbled sea
Memories of the night past
sparkle brightly in my mind
Our walks and late night talks
under the hollow moon
as its light danced on the snowy tides.
We are lovers, yes
but deeper still
we are friends
and where lovers leave,
friends stay on forever.
