The sea remembers,
never repays
It keeps the echoes of our yesterdays
The words we spoke,
the ones unsaid
Still ripple where our hearts once bled
It stores the sound,
but not the grace
Of every time we lost our place
It never gives,
it only stays
A salted vote
that keeps our gaze
We write our names and watch them stray
The sea remembers,
never
repays
Memory is not a promise made
It doesn't love,
it doesn't grieve
It just holds on,
but never leaves
The sea remembers,
come what may But memory alone can't make you stay
