imagining a life along the shore

TENOR

Let me serenade you with
A love song like no other

Tenor bit into his lip as Delta stared at him. He offered her a joyful wink. I don't remember saying it would be a fair trade. A question for a question, isn't the game I want to play. Tenor gently splashed at the princess. But this once? A kiss is just a kiss. You don't need to search for emotion on someone's lips. Tenor sang of love stories, but he didn't need love himself. The fun was in the game, not the prize.

Delta was too innocent for Tenor. From the smile, to her words, to the thoughts she gave him. Everything about Delta screamed innocence. If you have to ask, then we both know the answer is you. You're the only one holding yourself back Princess.

And now she was there to cheer him up. She really was a princess. Tenor let out a soft laugh. Hard to be so confident all of the time. Can't have the ladies thinking I'm a cocky jerk, now can I? But watching the kids run across the shore, he knew he wouldn't be truly happy until he could join them.

Tenor had hoped that maybe she atleast had the same dream as he did. But even that was a wash. Looking back at the Princess, he gave a slight sigh. Even her desires in life were childlike. How fun. I'm sure you'll get there one day.

Little will you know
It'll be our story
