Pebbles and more

Just pebbles

Walking barefoot on wet Sand
Your Hand placed gently in my own
Basking in memories of our lovemaking not yet two hours ago
Hair still wet from our Shower
Head full of Dreams and promise

You placed some pebbles in my Hand some Shells formed beautifully as if custom made
You promised me a Necklace
So I could wear them forever

Love filled my Soul for the very first time.
I almost said it aloud
But didn't.

You turned pebbles and Shells into Art
A gesture I wore so proudly
Each memory polished beautifully
You made me smile

Nothing lasts forever
No matter how hard I tried
Dreams were just that
And your interest swayed to brighter Gems
Heart broken once more

Pebbles and Shells returned to the Shore
Washed away with my Tears

I should have said I loved you.
