A Particular Early Morning Beach Trip Memory

saying good morning to you
a happy moment at the beach
watching you walk by
staring at your butt and admiring your natural beauty
yet and still i choose not to flirt with you
the happiness in the geometry of your vibe leads me straight down to the wedding band on your finger
i walk on with a smile on my face feeling lonely again
i make wishes to myself again and sneak another look at your wonderfully flawless body
as i watch the waves, i remind myself that life is life
i am still a virgin in a world of rapidly passing time
as the sun sets, i think about those that are my Loving Roots who are no longer here
when i look down to my right, i suddenly realize that you are next to me with tears in your eyes
for whatever reason unbeknownst to me, you take my hand and hold it for a spell
you then softly say 'moving on is like calm, warm water that is still a wish'
you then wish me a great day and walk on and eventually leave the beach, never to be seen again
for the rest of my ocean visit, what she said stuck with me like a stubborn, angry bee
it is then that i decide to adjourn to the chambers of the hot tub in my condo to reflect and reminisce
