Love Poem

I watch a wave smooth away my drawing in the sand
And I wonder where it came from.
Is it from you?
If I scooped up a salty wave and sent in it all my love
Would it reach you? Miles away on another beach
My wave would spread its fingers down the coast until it found you
And you would feel my taste in its arms
And it would return across the ocean
To me
To whisper in my ears and sting my eyes with your tears
And I would tell you I missed you too.
And every wave that reached for me would be from you
So when my wave reached yours on land
And our hands knew each other
You would recognize my wave
And know that I loved you.
