After hours,
Cool breezes push past our shoulders
Along the boardwalk, where we walk tonight
Under the moonlight sky
Hands wondering if they should be held

When it’s where we’ve been before,
Uncertain certainties
And the rush of silence they shine brings
We rest tonight on the bedroom floor

After longing,
The sounds of the waves crashing in
Along the shoreline, where we lay tonight
Under the moonlight sky
Hands anxious for company

When it’s unfamiliar territory,
Understood standing
And the noise created by the universe
We rest tonight on the landing

After mourning,
Warmth fills me everywhere you are
Along the path, where we stare tonight
Under the moonlight sky
Hands embracing collapse

When it’s you, my dear
That I could arrive home to
I walk the path on the shoreline home
Where love left behind on the boardwalk
It’ll be me crying to the moon for you

One more time
