I remember

I remember the fading sunset
over the glowy blue ocean
the gentle breeze that blew
the soft white sand
the calls of the seabirds
as they flew for home

I remember your hands on mine
your warmth of you
in the circle of my arms
the gentle kiss
on my forehead
the slow walk home afterwards

I remember the promises you made
the words gentle and kind
a pact to be together, to return
to that place again
the seaside far in the north
to remember this time

And now as I look at you
slumbering by my side
I thank what gods there are
who granted our wish that day
to live for each other everyday
and I will never forget
