All the things we loved together

Meet me in California

Where I will have become the crashing waves and swooping birds we loved so much

The things we loved together

Meet me where the shoreline is frayed with the salt water spray and the fog clings to the cliffs all morning long

Meet me there, where we felt small and silent

All our words smothered in our chests by the hush of the sea

You will be cold in the morning air

Standing with your bare feet buried in the sand

And as you shiver and wait for the sun to rise behind you

Look a little further down the shore and you will find me

Building castles and cathedrals

Chasing the waves with wild things in my hair

And you will know me

You will know me from your past and all your dreams

You will know me for what I was, and for everything I alw

ays wanted to be

You will know that I am not gone, I am just someplace else.

Someplace where there is always fog and salt water

Always amber and rose sunrises and a place that feels like home

Meet me in California and I will remind you

That I haven't left for good, I am only waiting

Waiting for the day
When all our chores and tasks are done

And you come home.

Come home to only me, and all the things we loved together.
