Memories of You
By Gregory Ashe
Sitting on the sand,
gazing at the full moon.
The sea lit with the dull reflection of moonlight.
A cool breeze.
The air heavy with ocean salt.
The soft roar of waves crashing on the shore.
I remember that night
long ago
when you and I first kissed on the beach.
We sat in an empty lifeguard stand.
The night still warm from the day's summer heat.
I ran my fingers through your golden-brown hair glowing
in the moonlight.
A magical night.
I remember another night,
much longer ago,
when a different you and I first kissed on the beach.
We walked along the boardwalk.
The winter air cold and clear,
and the moon cast a million diamonds
sparkling on the sea.
I ran my fingers through your jet-black hair shimmering
in the moonlight.
A magical night.
Now I stare at the sea and moonlight
alone,
but still I smile.
For I am not really alone,
because you,
and you
are here with me in my thoughts.
A magical night.
