I stepped in silently, careful and light,
Listening close to her breath in the night.
The sand was warm, her heartbeat near,
A whisper of waves I longed to hear.
Had she missed me in tides untold?
Her touch was soft, yet strong and bold.
The wind embraced, her voice so free,
A dance of time between her and me.
In that moment, lost in the sea,
I knew she had always waited for me.
