August 10th 1999, sunset at the beach


Thursday evening, sunny days, and the heart is warmer than ever
I was hoping it would be easy like a Sunday morning,
clock's ticking in rush telling us that our time's limited,
only few hours left before the war
riding through the south, "wanna go see the sunset?" you asked
the wind was cold but you were as warm as the morning sunshine in the summer
all along the way I held you tight, knowing that the evening would fade
you took me to the beach
somewhere we've never been to,
it wasn't really our thing visiting random places but that evening was special

watching the sun sets by the beach
the sky was pretty in color, pinkish, and clear blue like it was mirroring the sea
"lets go see the sunset, but promise that you wont cry" you said
you told me not to be sad (hundred times as I can count)
you told me to always be happy
you, me, and the sea
we sat on a rocky side by the beach,
you light your cigarette as we fooling around and complaining how time flies way too fast
hoping that August would also fly like a blink of an eye, 

you knew how I could sit here all day just to stare at the beach
and with you by my side, I could feel the calm inside me
you let me all sat there quietly and stared at the horizon up above the sea
daydreaming, we both know it all too well that's the only thing Im good at
I like it when you let me do my weird things in peace, do nothing and just stare at the moon and the pinkish sky up above,
I could feel the way you stare at me every once in a while as I breath the fresh salty air
you insisted to take picture of me but I said no because I was shy,
I just wanted to spend the evening with you
behind us was a green meadow, hills, and not so far away from the runaway
"there's no flight here in the evening, the last one's usually at 4pm" you said as I asked you why there's no aircraft in sight
I closed my eyes as the wind blew my black scarf and pulled some moist salty air and dusty white sands into my face
birds chirping, singing their happy song like it was telling us that the sun will set
bringing the promise of the dawn in the next morning
that evening just felt so calm and I feel safe being with you

To all sunshine, rainbows, lilies and happy days that will come after this
I hope you always win in life
