You and Me

You were beside me When we walked on the wet sand, Hand in hand, The waves lapping at our feet. You chose to stand Among the waves. I chose to sit and watch The night sowing the stars in the sky. Now where the sun Sank into the night I search for those moments Among the remaining golden threads. All that is left between you and me Is the silence after the seventh wave Drowning the clamour Of the others, lapping at others' feet.
