Beneath the sun, your skin so fair,
The scent of salt hangs in the air,
Your eyes aglow, a distant shore,
Oh, how I wish for something more.

My heart conceals a heavy ache,
Your name, once sweet, I cannot wake,
You're there, while I am left alone,
In dreams, your love, a love long gone.

I yearn for just a soft caress,
Your lips, your laughter, I confess,
In distant love, we slowly part,
A sorrowful and broken heart.

Each day, the pain, it seems to grow,
Like crashing waves, a constant woe,
Your absence is a bitter art,
In the abyss of longing, we depart.

In love and war, they say, all's fair,
Yet tearing hearts, a harsh affair,
In this battle, we've lost our way,
A rhyme of sorrow, come what may.
