Footprints

by Becca

He's happy again
Now that she's with him
And they dance again
Once more hand-in-hand

She twirls again
Her white dress flowing
And they kiss again
Savor the moment

They laugh again
the sand warm and wet
And he loves again
Like waves love the shore

They feel again
Cool watery tide
Together again
On the sunlit beach

She fades again
She just can't hold on
He reaches again
He can't let her go

They dance again
Slowly, one last time
But she's gone again
And their last waltz ends

Tears fall again
His footprints still there
In the sand again
But his are alone
