A Message Left Behind

by Walter

She wrote out her name
On the sand where we walk
Around my foot prints
With a branch for her chalk

I then asked her why
My prints were in between
The letters of her name
It made me look mean

She smiled and she said
My interpretation is wrong
Your footprints are exactly
Where they belong

Again I looked back
To see what she said
And told her it looked like
I ignored what's ahead

She said to look closer
Again with a grin
You don't step on letters
As I've let you in

Now when I look
And smile when I know
I worked out the message
That she tries to show

Suddenly she's glowing
It's now I clearly see
She let me walk into her life
As we were meant to be
