I saw you on a beach
last night
you talked to the wind
and seemed to hear her
yet you cannot hear
me
I saw the way you love
your lover
the sea
he tickled your toes
caressed your legs
made love to you
he was not
me
I saw the way you smiled
when, in my dream
I pressed my lips
to your skin
and held you
that smile
was for me
