The sorrow of an eternal loss

Our names
I wrote in the sand
then I got lost in the sea
a look towards the ocean
which so well represents
the lapse of our existence


Dawn found us, one day,
embraced and sinking
after a stormy night
as an unexpected melody
announced the soft glow
on the night of our souls

A desperate love
has grown strongly,
overcoming the fears
and distrust,
new delusions
and abyssal relapses

How many obstacles  
and doubts
have we overcome?
I wished to offer you
something better,  
of this dragging us
in survival, but...
I tried and failed

"Never mind,"
you told me
"What counts is that
we are still alive,
together, you and me!"

Is a great fortune
but so impermanent...
And the more I think
the more my distress grows

Because about death,
what most dismays
is the sorrow
of an eternal loss
and not be able
to embrace you anymore

Our names
I wrote in the sand,
and soon were erased
by the foam of the waves.
