Lonely green bench by the Sea (poetry wistful reflection of constants in life)

Lonely green bench by the sea
Looking out at eternity
Million faces you have seen
Still you stay up all alone
Counting waves all night long

It used to be painted green,
By a little spot near the beach,
Washed in surf spray it used to glow
In the glory days it musta smiled

We used to play next to it
All the friends gathered at the beach
Played hard we did all day
In those days we laughed a lot

Kisses we have shared at nights
Passions rose and set hearts afire
On the bench that sat alone
Overlooking the shiny sea

By the bench we came again
To unite and share our vows
To step into another life
And build ourselves a universe

Time flew by and we all grew
When the grays started showing up
We still remembered an old friend
Our lonely green bench by the sea

Now I stand here past my prime
To take a last look at the bench
With shaking hands I touch the flakes
Of the green that used to be

Lonely green bench by the sea
Looking out at eternity
Million faces you have seen
Still you will stand all alone
Long after I am gone.
