you built sandcastles
though we never made it to the sea
fantastical dream palaces
I decorated with driftwood
pieces of feathered hopes and rocky dreams
a dash of seaweed possibilities
the ocean echoed with joy
a royal fanfare chorus
and the sun smiled down
until the tide came in
I watched the castles dissolve
in an instant as if they'd never been
you went away too
leaving barely a ripple in your wake
I shook my head with dry eyes
perhaps you meant more
than I would care to admit
as the waves keep breaking
