Here's a song based on the poem "The Ocean I Loved":
*Verse 1*
I loved you like the ocean loves the shore
A constant heartbeat, forever more
Reaching out for you, through every wave
Whispering your name, in every silent cave
*Chorus*
Oh, my love, you were the tide that I adored
Though you never came, my heart beats for you forevermore
In every ebb and flow, I searched for you
A love so true, forever shining through
*Verse 2*
I kept my dreams folded, deep inside my soul
Hoping someday, you'd make me whole
The winds would carry, my whispered prayers
But the tides never turned, and you were never there
*Chorus*
Oh, my love, you were the tide that I adored
Though you never came, my heart beats for you forevermore
In every ebb and flow, I searched for you
A love so true, forever shining through
*Bridge*
Now I carry you, like the ocean carries the sky
A reflection of what could never be, a bittersweet goodbye
My heart still beats, with a love so strong
A forever love, that taught me where I belong
*Chorus*
Oh, my love, you were the tide that I adored
Though you never came, my heart beats for you forevermore
In every ebb and flow, I searched for you
A love so true, forever shining through
*Outro*
In the silence, I hear your name
A whispered echo, a love that remains
Though you were never mine, my heart beats for you
A beautiful ache, a love that's forever true.
