I miss the sand between my feet
and how the swell always caresses the shore
I miss the sound of your voice
and the smell of your hair
and how you always fell asleep
with your head resting on my shoulder
these days have long been past
they will stay as memories
and still I like to remember them
for what they were
and who we still are
all the nights that we spent awake
talking about feelings and mistakes
we had enough of both of these
these island days had our minds twisted
and all of our friends have missed it
problems that have more than two variables
have always been so hard for me to solve
I forget a fraction of your smile
with every single day that’s going by
and my only regret is
that I never got to know you better
we both knew the love we had was true
the first one to confess to this was you
you broke my heart when you were faithful
now I know that you just had to
you taught me how to be myself
you taught me how to love myself
and I will always respect you for that
