Maybe you're
my oceanside.

You're millions of
solid grains of sand,
And I'm wave after wave
of blue liquid salt spray.

We dwell side by side
Thinking we were together,
but surf and turf
never truly mixed.

I hold your hand
across the divide,
but we were never
truly meant to be.

Don't you see,
I rest upon you
And you float in me
But we're worlds apart.

Heaven and earth ~
they meet in the middle
But never grasp
one another.

Maybe side by side
is all we were meant to be.

Maybe you're
my oceanside.
