A Single Pebble

That which is rarer than anything exposed on a beach
Gives me meaning and purpose that few of us reach
A pebble, a single pebble now kept in my pocket
I will keep safe inside this special keepsake locket
And will wear it around my neck for my protection
And hold on to your substance in my life once more
That which once was part of something much grander
Gives me the courage to ask where are you from
No more wait for incessant makes ups or breakups
Washed smooth by the rolling tides still breaking in
Worn out and perhaps weary from such long ago origins
Now all the drama of a past has gone by and been forgotten
Forever now I behold its value be held with sacred love
Glowing with each sunrise in such a warm surprise
Could it have taken me any longer to yet surmise
All that you have given back to me for that I will keep safe
All that you have given to me and now I will give back
I will always be, yes my love, I will always be here for you
