We Met At Ocean Beach Park

We met at Ocean Beach Park,
so many years ago on a weekend,
where old rock n' roll songs
blasted from the transistor radios.

The beach was covered in density
with sunbathers claiming their spots
children and their pails running around,
you were the handsome lifeguard up high.

I purposely placed my  blanket in front of you
as you looked down from your tower,
our eyes met and I was melting on the spot,
it was a glorious moment of instant love. 

The surf called me to take a  cooling dip
as I ran into its  salty  and alluring water,
all the time feeling your eyes upon me,
and then it happened a huge wave hit me hard.

The world turned black as I went underwater,
in the distance I heard a whistle blowing,
I felt strong and masculine arms around me,
saving me from drowning and swimming to shore.

I woke up and felt your lips on mine,
you were applying aritifical respiration,
coughing out the salty sea from my mouth,
was our first date which lasted a lifetime.
