Recollections

Sometimes,
When I look back at the times
When we went out
see the stars
In the warm summer skies.

To feel the warmth of the
Sand beneath our feet
As you dragged me to the beach
To get my feet wet.

To play in the arcade at the pier,
When you were much better
At playing the games
Than I was.

When we reached the end of the pier,
and looked out at the
Ocean, and all of its magnificence,
Hearing the waves
Clashing behind us,
and being entranced
By the deep.

When I drove you back to
Your dorm, and you wished me
"Good night",
With a warm hug and a quick
Kiss on the cheek.

When I look back at
The things we used to do,
I realized I miss the memories,
and not necessarily you.
