I know you said

I was the first to leave the sauna -

Darting across the sand -

Past bright pedalos -

Sunbathing dads -

Swimming in the Bank Holiday sea -

I turned to see you follow -

You were with Amanda, one of your dearest friends -

I swam up to you -

All I knew was your smile and the joy of the waves -

This is wonderful I said -

I know you said -
