Remember When

Remember when
We were young
Splashes of laughter
Raining in shimmery drops
Castles we built
Out of dreams and sand
Your cheeky smile
Your wayward hair
The sun beating
A steady massage
The waves crooning
Drops of joy
Sprinkled our faces
Like little kisses

The sun diminishes
A fiery ball
Sinking, sinking
Licking, licking
The waves consume
Our tiny castles
Washed away
Existing only
In our memories.
