Stay With Me

Tan skin covered in sand and sweat
Your famous bear hug
And your hair
It smelled like salt.

Eyes that matched the sky
Couldn't be more clear
And sometimes
They made my heart skip beats.

Laughs that made the sun want to smile
Kisses that made me thankful to be alive.

It's a good thing I can hear your laugh in the wind
That the sun carries the warmth of your soul
That your spirit lies in my still beating heart.

But it's best that life, isn't defined by goodbyes.
