"beach night"

the glow of the ferris wheel, fading into the ocean's murmur. another summer burning out, leaving nothing but salt on your skin and a ghost of a smile on your lips. this was the last scene, played out beneath a sky the color of forgotten dreams, before the drive home, before the quiet.

it’s that slow dissolve, the moment before the first chill of fall, caught forever. a silent promise whispered to the tide, an echo of what was.
