Her Name Means Wild

I was walking along the ocean thinking of you, thinking about us.

How nice it would be with your arms wrapped around me here. I long for that.

I want to tell you everything on my mind. But you already know. I want to stare deep into your eyes and hear everything on your heart.

Remember that starry night you pulled me close? Every night I lie in bed I still feel the touch of your lips on my forehead. Right now, I feel it too, the way I feel the ocean come up to kiss my feet as I walk along the ocean’s shore.

I was walking along the ocean, and how time elapsed, the minutes add up to miles. I am far from where I started.

I feel I haven’t been the woman you fell in love with. We both have changed, grew in our pain. Yet, you still love me anyway and call me good.

I was walking along the ocean thinking about you, thinking about us. And I’m longing for that day we walk the shore, together you and I.
