I remember that day I stopped believing in you.
The waves rose high above me
like your build had once done,
picking me up with your broken dreams
and pushed me down under before running.
The day I squished my toes into the sand,
etched our names side-by-side;
watched as the waves came too soon,
washed our names away along with lost days
Predictably you never showed,
even the ocean waves cannot wash away
the pain of being forgotten.
I let the waves wash away the memories of you,
the memory of that day: another day you didn’t show.
