I taste the salt in the air.

I feel the grit of the sand,

under my feet. 

I love the beach, it's beautiful.

 

But I was forced to move.

To somewhere with no ocean.

Somewhere the only view,

is corn fields.

 

I miss the beach. 

The sound of gulls,

and bonfires at night.

People. So Many people. 

 

It was beautiful. 

And I left that world behind. 

I regret it,

but someday I'll go back.
