I see your gentle footsteps
Lying on the beach
I try to follow close to you
But you are out of reach
The footsteps lead me to the water
But then they disappear.

I know I can never have you
You move much too fast
I will never catch you
It would never last.

I agree.. the first stanza seemed to run smoothly until the last line. The second stanza did seem a little off too.

I do like the idea you have for this one though, nothing a little more work can't fix!

I agree that a few lines were awkward, but enjoyed its genuine simplicity nonetheless. Keep writing!
