At break of day we walk upon the sands,
The grains a velvet rug beneath our feet.
My heart is cradled in your two strong hands.
You're part of me, and with you I'm complete.
Behind us in the sand two children play,
Building castles like we used to do.
We had such dreams; I thought you'd always stay.
I feel you drift, though I stand next to you.
For many years we fought the bond we share,
Too late we saw how much this pair could be.
Your eyes seem not to see how much I care,
Another fills the place once held for me.
Beneath our feet the velvet starts to fray,
Someday you'll see how much you gave away.
