Under star-scattered night sky,

The ocean hits the long shore of La Jolla,

A place where the boundaries between

The material and spiritual waver.

How time and time again,

I come back to you

In the backs of journals

And in sleep’s guise.

Yet, if we were reunited 

In-between white sands

And endless sea,

It would not be the same,

For love is found once,

And anything else

Is a faded memory.

That is what hurts most.
