here i lay

I wrote this originally as a poem and posted it another blog, but I thought it would be okay to share it on here with a few changes :)

here i lay on a summer afternoon almost memorizing the pull of the high tide, the scent, how my fingers fit into my sloppy hair and the flight of the wind. it's because one day, all of this will be gone. this innocence. this bliss.

and here i lay on a summer afternoon wishing for anything that might make me forget. forget it all. forget the waves and how they move, forget the salty scent of an endless summer, forget the wind and how it grazes through my disheveled hair, because it just might help to forget. it just might.

so here i lay on a summer afternoon, mixed inside.

because i know, that i will never fail to remember.
