Salt and Pepper

Salt and Pepper

The ocean waves sing their own special song 
As Sol arises and birds sing along 

Where a sandy beach with seagulls on high 
Call to each other in a scarlet sky. 

I dream of you in long walks by the sea,
I recall sandcastle's you built for me.

Sweet memories are instilled in my mind 
Our history together with ties that bind

Keeps us ever faithful in love's soft hues.
These memories pull me out of the blues.

When tensions are high and pain intercedes
With angry words released to fill our needs,

Yet, a good night's rest and our world seems bright.
Love is that way, and at times we'll fight.

We know our devotion bonds us like glue,
Indissoluble souls, meant to keep true.

Our love lives on in songs of the sea
Where once long ago you proposed to me.
