The First Draft of Forever.

The waves in my ears
And the soles of my feet
are the only things I really need
To get by
To get to you
Salt breeze in my teeth
Sand on my knees
Let me come get you for my adventure.
The trees seem to glow
My strength seems to grow
With every step that I take away.
I'll never leave you this way
This step step sprint way
You're the part of me that never goes away.
Swirl of flames
Your favorite drinking games
Our old band names.
You never get old
I'm not getting younger
You flatter me when I have a drink in my hand.
The drink in my hand
Takes me to dry land
Or maybe nowhere close.
You though
you're always close
Between the strands of my hair
Behind my eyes stuck in my ears I really don't care where
You'll always be there
Like a photo album of all time and I swear
That you'll never get damaged, I'll take such good care
of you, each part of you like a part me even though that just
makes "us" into "we"
Take it easy, you're just my memories.
