Photographs And Memories

It was so long ago on that wooden walkway to the sea where we watched seagulls play. One day you turned to me and said before summer left you would be going away. It is no good begging me to stay because someone else needs me, but you’ll always be my only love. She gripped my hand tightly as we walked along and no more words were spoken. Until it was time to go we would be together every day, she promised me that as we walked along the beach watching the waves rush to the shore until each day folded to a close. Seasons have come and gone since that summer long ago when you said goodbye to me. Leaving only photographs and memories of what was my forever love. Now as I walk by the sea and down that wooden walkway, I still feel your hand in mine and hear your voice on the breeze. Although I walk alone now I know you’re never far from me. I still remember that end as your hand drifted from mine and I knew it was your time to leave me forever an empty shell on the shore with only photographs and memories that will stay with me forever. 23 February 2014
