Soft Sand

Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel like sand.

Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel like sand.

Soft sand on summer beaches.

Who doesn’t love living on the coast?

.

I love to walk down this beach with you. The sand makes it feel like home. Please stay and walk on the beach with me. Please don’t leave me alone on this beach. I love to walk down this beach with you.

.

Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel like sand. Please don’t leave. Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long so long so long so long so long so long so long so long so long that it starts to feel like sand. Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel right. Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel like sand and sometimes it starts to feel like home.

.

I love to walk down the beach with you. The sand makes it feel like home.

.

Soft sand. Soft sand. Soft sand. Soft sand.

.

I love the soft sand on these summer beaches. Beautiful shells erode over decades and centuries to give us beautiful, soft sand on summer beaches. The softest sand is the sand that’s been eroding the longest. Chip away at my soul until I am soft enough.

.

Break me down gently. Turn me into the softest sand on these summer beaches.

.

Sometimes you walk on eggshells for so long that it starts to feel like sand. I love to walk down the beach with you. The sand makes it feel like home. Chip away at my soul until I’m soft enough. Will you love me if I’m softer?
