She Waves, Goodbye

She Waves, Goodbye Of all the waves crashing on the shore Of all the songs on the radio There’s still the one washing over me That takes me back in the undertow The April sun, North Myrtle Beach My feet are sinking in the sand Retreating waters under foot The tide is high; she took my hand I turned to see, this cresting wave I took a leap and dived toward shore She took me in and cradled me I held my breath, as time was short I kept myself stream-lined strong The water rushed across my skin We bodysurfed all afternoon But shallow waters, I tumbled in And then, we had to say goodbye Of all the waves crashing on the shore Of all the songs on the radio There’s still the one rushing over me That takes me back in the undertow The April sun, Rehoboth Beach My heart is sinking in the sand She’s still the one rushing over me And there she is, with another man “Love Bites” © 2017 Jeffrey Spencer
