Ocean Waves

Gin and tonic on a breezy afternoon.
 Lime enhances the drink
 and our memories of the beach
years ago.
We were falling in love.
Sand squeaked under our feet as
salty waves rushed toward us.
Our love didn’t come in waves
But in a constant motion
that captured our hearts.
We are bound within the current
and thirty five years of endless joy.
But the never ending ocean waves
continue into eternity
and so do we.
