Funny thing about dreams and memories; sometimes itās difficult to tell them apart. Sometimes I just donāt want to.
That summer ā¦. after the breakup ā¦. I needed to be alone …. to think ā¦. to put the hurt behind me. A few days at that motel on the beach seemed like a good idea at the time.
Everywhere I walked ā¦. everything I saw ā¦. reminded me of you. The scent of salt water. Scattered shells and seaweed. That song. Hot summer nights. Stars so close you could touch them.
Memories and dreams of you ā¦. theyāre funny that way.
