i walk alone

i walk alone

I walked alone
while you waited.
I watched the sunset.
you anticipated.
I spoke of a love
my actions negated.
you asked for commitment.
i said it's overrated.

because
i thought you were forever.
i thought you were the sky
or the stars,
or the oceans.
but

I left my footprints deep in the sand
And swore to you
one day
I would retrace them
But when I turned around
I found
The tide had erased them.
Now I'll never replace them.

you were the sand.
i walk alone.
