She said: I used to picture it.
She said: what it would be like.
She said: I don’t know what I pictured exactly.
She said: I think I pictured something beautiful.
She said: but not this.
She said: you can’t picture this.
She said: you have to be here.
I said: yes.
She said: Edwin knew that.
She said: he knew you had to be here.
She said: he just couldn’t get us here.
She said: but you did.
She said: you got us here.
She squeezed my hand.

The two of us.
For a little while longer.
The sun went further down.
The water kept coming.
Rose said: I think I’d like to get some dinner.
I said: yes.
She said: somewhere with a view.
I said: I already looked.
She said: of course you did.
She said: you’re always looking.
