heart strings

simply stunning,
she said,
when the sand slipped between
her sandwiched toes.
standing above something so vast.
invigorating,
he exclaimed,
and into the international waters
he walked.
together with clasped hands
the took in the tempting
sunlight and thought
today is the best
casually he caressed her
bones keeping sure not to
compress her candy like frame
constrain her somehow.
perhaps the perpetual beats
of his uptight heart
pressured her into wrapping herself
up in him.
he didn't mind a bit.
the frigid breeze of the flustered
ocean air began to flip her flowy hair
and they became tangled
in every which way.
suddenly they were so
close that a simple tug at either
heart string would cause an earthquake.
carefully and deliberately,
they untangled each piece
sometimes making the time together
more painful then others.
their time together on the precipice was over
and they needed to move on
maybe grow apart.
and so they walked opposite directions when
they finally broke free,
except leaving one tiny heart string,
that will never be
broken.
