have you....

have you ever noticed

that the beach calls your name with a familiar voice

and

embraces you with a hug that feels like a long lost friend

when you finally arrive

have you ever noticed

that the beach never makes you feel lonely

even if you're all alone

have you ever noticed

that the beach makes you more playful and smiley

and

that after a day of even just walking in the sand

your cheeks are pinker

with a color that can't be bought

have you ever noticed

that the beach is as alive as you are

have you ever noticed

that the beach makes you a bit weepie

when you have to say

good-bye
