Digging

I've dug my words beneath Your skin & found layer after layer of why your eyes Often drift over a sea of thought. It's quite beautiful there, Your own private getaway Where you can dig your toes In the sand and sit in peace. You've learned to let go & Not look back. I've dug and found at your feet The taste of true expectation. I've placed my kiss in your sand A million and one moments, shifted And granulated in memory. Somewhere I've misplaced my shovel And learned patience in just being. I've left a piece of myself to always Remind you
