Lost Not Found

When we walked together yesterday,

Along the golden beach,

In the foam and the spray.

I looked at you, but you looked away.

The seagulls hung in salty air,

Kids built castles without a care,

But you gave me not a second look,

As the sea breeze, your hair,

Playfully shook.

Walking back the way we came,

Some finger-pointing, about who to blame.

Girls and boys in love, passed us by,

Reminding me, of you and I.

I remember we played that game,

The cat and mouse, lover’s game.

Though that was in younger days,

When we were a brand.

That was in younger days,

When you could find my hand.
