Coastline: Pleasant Dreams

And for the thoughts
we failed to mention
and for each word
that found us best.
For the heart
that beats for you,
resounding loud
and through my chest.
Here's the moment.
There's the light.
One last kiss
goodbye tonight.
"My love it's all we knew..."
so here's to you.
Here's to the walk
the beach, the candlelight.
The way your hair was blowing
in the coastal wind.
Here's to the long drive
home and the radio,
to all our favorite songs
and how we sang along
I knew that it was.
Can you remember
the look in my eyes?
The day was left
and night was ours.
Letting go was all
we knew though stay
close (so close)
turning in at
five past two.
And for that day
I'd pen in song words
of faith and trust alone.
Letting go means holding
to though stay close (so close)
fading lines prove wasted youth.
I will never underestimate
the way you move,
the way you caught my eye
and kept me thinking,
stole my heart
yet kept it beating.
And even though
I'm flawed
"clever only counts if you don't get caught".
