The beach was so romantic,
I thought the perfect place to be.
That\'s why I grabbed you by the hand,
To take you there with me.
I had thoughts I wanted to tell you,
I worked and thought and planned.
I scribbled out my message,
etched deep into the sand.
I took great care to write them,
The words I wanted to say,
But before you got to see them,
The tide washed them all away.
I thought about how fragile,
How easily words get tossed.
And as the sun kissed the horizon,
The entire day seemed lost.
Poetic words can be heartfelt,
And even make you feel blessed.
Sometimes just keep it simple,
An \"I love you\" says it best.
