walking in the sands of yesterday
as our footprints indented our memories
so many bittersweet regrets we once had
of a past that refused to fade

swaying trees dance in unison
approaching speck of pink on the horizon
lights shine across the murky waters
and shadows cast by two lost souls

all the sorries we said
all those apologies we made
gushed away, washed away
by the hurtling waves

brought to the brink of deliverance
we strolled into the crashing surf
yet another tragedy for the newspapers
they will mourn our forsaken youth

and all the foolishness they will say
throwing our promising lifes away
but hey we did what we wanted
we walked on the beach that fateful day

but the ripples wouldn't cease
others will suffer because of this
this mockery of a dramatic death
thus questions the sanity of our misguided youth

but its too late
immortalized in tainted sanctity
we live eternally
as we remind people of life in its entity
foolish and misguided till the very end
