We met on the beach under a blazing sun

Both searching for peace within the waves

A task done alone proved to be quite insane

But with you, the end could be achieved

Eyes locked, knowing we needed each other

For the ladder to success is not a single rung

Our ship was built, a tribute to our bond

A beauty not conquered by the darkness

The waves call our name in gentle breeze

As we cast our ship out to sea to find peace

Among the waves was a sense of comfort

That soon turned to a sadness that hid tears

You were no longer by my side on this ship

Drifting far away from my arms as I grasp

The plank left behind, a shred of my heart

That reminds me of when we drifted apart
