Lovers stroll barefoot on the sandy
beach hand in hand. Cool winds
sensually blowing through curls of
silky black hair.

Chill of night slowly approaching,
warmth of love forever young.
Holding each other close, tenderly
stealing breathless kisses.
Passers-by glanced with envied wishes.

Nightfall came, into dawn they walked,
laughing, giggling, playing in the sand.
Standing with arms caressing each other.
Gazing amorously into love-filled eyes.
Silhouettes under the darkened sky.

The end of this romantic stroll draws nigh,
soon time to bid each other good-bye.
A slight feeling of sadness appears,
knowing next time may be several years.

Looking at each other with tear filled eyes,
muffled sounds of sweet good-byes.
Slowly pulling away from one another,
a slight touch of hand on hand.
Goodbye my love, we’ll meet again.
Until then, we must remain friends.
