As the sun sets
You take my hand
As we go beach walking on the sand
On a familiar path
To our Bay
There’s a garland of stars out tonight
As the moon reflects on the water
Like a mirror ball it illuminates the sea
We rest a while
And
With our hands now in my pockets
Your fingers become entwined
With mine
We keep each other warm
And only the sound the sea makes surrounds us
You’re quiet
You’re thinking
Happy thoughts
I think?
With your head now perched on my shoulder
You kiss my cheek and say “ Thank you”
I reply what for “ For today? ”
“No for everything” you say
“For being you”
“For being there”
“For making me laugh”
“For your constant words of love”
“For your openness and honesty”
“For your patience”
List goes on
I turn to you
I tell you “I would have none of those things if it wasn’t for you”
Still we stand with hands remaining in my pockets
You kiss me again this time harder and as you do
Your tongue caress mine
As the sea caress the shore

This kind of describes what I plan on doing next year with HER if we’re still together 🙂 <3
We love being at the beach, we’re lucky because my partner’s folks live quite close . There a particular bay we also go to and its where I proposed to Jo in July, its a special place for both of us. I so hope you do manage to fulfil your plans next year and that you are still with her and that all your planning is worth while xx
I LOVE this post! My gf and I made our original connection over a conversation about how the ocean pulls at us both. We are going in 2 weeks to Florida for a long weekend, where we will have a full day and a half to spend doing nothing but enjoying the Gulf Coast. The cool part is that this beach has a great possibility of becoming a regular destination because it’s near my mom. I hope it becomes a special place for us just as you’ve described here!
my partner is from a little coastal town in North Wales , her folks still have a home there and my fathers family come from the same area, so we immediately had that connection. Were lucky that it is only an hour and half away from where we live so we do go there quite alot. There is a particular Bay called Angel Bay , seculded and just beautiful, we’ve been together 5 years now and this July I took her to this Bay and asked her to marry me.
Enjoy your trip in two weeks and I hope it becomes your special place xx
