Salt was dripping from the sky
in this city, this heart of mine,
where you and I met two summers ago,
and you whispered promises to me
under silk sheets, where heavy nights
turned to daylight before our eyes;
we never slept much - I didn't want to,
no dream could be as beautiful as you
and this love that captivated me,
lit me up like fireworks we watched
hand in hand, cold water splashing
at our ankles, the sea reaching out for us;
I never blinked, because I knew
it would be over so soon—
even in the midst of it, I knew
it was far too good to ever be true.
