It was dark, just after sunset
It’s the purity I’ll never forget
It wasn’t too dark, and the water was still warm
I realized you had more character then I let my thoughts form
Stars were out with the soft orange
Laughter and smiles, we never had a shortage
Coming up from a wave, washed up on the board
You couldn’t cut my joy, not even with a sword
Saw a green flash
Soaked in your words, they made a splash
As the sun fully set on the horizon
Nostalgia flies in

It was dark, just after sunset
Fearlessness I’d finally met
It wasn’t too dark, and the water was still warm
So unexpected, your humor hit me like an electric thunderstorm
Stars were out with the soft orange
Our conversation’s memories I started putting in special storage
Coming up from a wave, washed up on the board
Miles away, but connected through this invisible chord
Saw a green flash
And even when our fire turned to ash
As the sun fully set on the horizon
Your appearances in my dreams is not surprising

It was dark, just after sunset
First saw you across the net
It wasn’t too dark, and the water was still warm
Messages turned into conversations considered a swarm
Stars were out with the soft orange
Courage to speak up I no longer had to forage
Coming up from a wave, washed up on the board
Friendship became real, not mind games scored
Saw a green flash
You added in, even when life hit me with a thrash
As the sun fully set on the horizon
One day, our connection will again be rising
