Etched Into The Sand

I wrote our names together

Etched into the sand

It wasn’t particularly clever

It didn’t last, as I had planned

 

A small symbol of how I feel

Written bold, into the sand

In a location, less than ideal

For this gesture, subtly grand

 

I thought it would be romantic

To scribble our names in the sand

But I forgot about the Atlantic

With the tide at its command

 

Washing away my message of love

Our names faded from the sand

Could this be a sign, from above

That our relationship is damned

 

The waves had come to ruin our day

By stealing our names in the sand

But you showed me, you’d never wash away

When you took, a firm hold of my hand
