An ocean of yearning

Missing you is like the ocean

It comes in waves tides and ebbs

Like the undertow when I wade it pulls me in

Submerging me and drowning me in despair

Our memories are like sunsets

Precious and rare

One of a kind like timeless art etched in my mind

My hope for us

Are like machines dismantled

Parts scattered about

Broken down dreams without a way to rewind or instructions to reassemble that which seemed so perfect

A summer vacation that can’t be recreated

Or your favorite flavor pulled off the shelf

A picture perfect scene played out in a flash

Or an injured rookies career ending too fast

I should have known it was to good to last
