Seaside Romance

Every time the pungent scent of sea salt Is suspended in the clammy, nighttime air She thinks of the sweltering summer nights Spent with you on the golden, sandy beaches Every time she hears the gentle, frothy waves Crashing against the radiant shore of sea glass She thinks of the lively afternoon picnics Shared with you on the vivacious boardwalk Every time she sees the seagulls fly in flocks Through the indefinite September skies She thinks back to the blissful times spent Encased in your arms, underneath the stars Every time she feels the sand of the beaches Emanating heat from below her bare feet She thinks of how she'll never experience Such a wonderful seaside intimacy again
