everything we used to do

lonely at the shore,

i try to do

all the things we used to do

together.

i walk 

the beach,

i lick an ice-cream

cone on

a bench by the 
Ferris Wheel.

i ride a bike,

then take a dip in

the ocean,

telling myself, just

jump in,

it's not too cold.

i get a room with a view

of the water.

i get room

service,

then soak in

the enormous tub.

i do all the things we used

to do

together.

everything but make love.
