Her hair flows seamlessly with the wind 

Swaying side to side along to the music 

Unknowingly, she attracts the attention of hungry eyes 

With such grace, there’s no wonder why 


Hand in hand, we walk into the restless waters 

The cerulean and tranquil ripples surge across the horizon 

She runs ahead, trying to escape the splashes purposed for her body 

Our laughs reverberated across the beach 


She, my best friend, leads us back to the hotel 

Where we lay, side by side, for hours 

A salty breeze infiltrates my nose 

As my hands become entangled in her long, blonde locks 


Her chest begins to produce a steady rhythm 

That signals her somnolence

My mind soaks in the beatitude of us

And I can’t help but wonder how nice it would be 

To stay like this forever

"Remembrance" was written in honor of a nostalgic song, Riptide by Vance Joy, that has brought me unforgettable memories and people.
