As I Watch the Waves Crash

As I watch the waves crash, I feel so numb.
To think that it was but one year ago
I stood here and felt my heart beat like a drum,
for you were beside me watching sun sink low.

While sky above us glowed a crimson red,
I felt so happy as you held my hand.
My heart soared like the seagulls overhead.
But you’re not with me now here on this sand.

The waves could cover me . . . I wouldn’t care.
I’m sinking like the sun into twilight.
Without your hand in mine, I’m in despair.
Come crash me, waves! I will not even fight.
