Love's letter

I look at you
lying by the sea
warm winds blow
tattered flags.
I know how
I came to be here
again.
I saved all those dreams
thinking all the while,
and praying for
but certainly did not expect,
the man who promised forever
would forever love me.
I traveled back to you
with your letter's answer
on my lips.
Yes, I have loved some
but have never been in love
more than now.
Here on our beach
doing familiar things
and making familiar love.
I think I have never
loved you more.
