The waves carry you and I to meet
 
each creeps a little closer to my feet
 
I retreat, stung by approaching tide
 
I turn my back and try to hide
 
Hopelessly pulled back, my mind
 
succumbs to salty kisses entwined
 
Turn again with depth and force
 
of emotion from tempestuous source
 
Thrown up, smashed and broken
 
an inevitable part of loves token
 
Come back again and smooth me round
 
to just the way I was first found
 
Dissolve my heart into sandy grain
 
and wash away this endless pain
