i think i loved you the first night we met

by Angela Thomas

sometimes i think about that first night
on the beach stand and how honest
we were with each other. i started
to clam up and you asked me,

is it just the distance that scares
you?
it felt like suddenly i couldn't quite
catch my breath and i was unsure exactly
how to answer the question. the waves pulled

back along the shoreline and revealed wet
soft sand underneath. i pulled your lips
closer to mine and without answering
felt the breath rush into my chest.

when a wave rushes against the shore
it doesn't ask what it's going to hit.
