Bon Voyage

That smile lacks my presence
But it's gorgeous none the less
And the fact that it still shines so bright
Means us dying was for the best

Drifting further from these empty shores
I hope the waves are kind to you
Send some bottled message sometimes
Let me know "how do you do?"

And maybe the tides will wash ashore
Some memories now and then
Inside some seashells and drift wood
In case I wonder if we'd ever been

So your foot prints fade, smoothed out by water
Now I'm certain you're gone
That and the fact I was at your door
And your dad chased me off your lawn
