when we waltzed down main Street,
to music only we could hear
when I held you tight,
as you cried on my shoulder
when we spoke of life,
over a shared cup of coffee
when we made love the first time,
inexperienced, but passionate
yet all these memories are but parts
taken out of time
a time that spins around us
faster and faster
images blending in the background
like some surrealistic kaleidoscope
distorted with speed and light
but somehow recognizable
the nights running all together
like watercolors in the rain
we built our sand castle
to guard us against the storms of life
and the constraints of time and space
how long before the tide comes in
to wash away our castle?
