Sunburn
there’s nothing better
than standing outside the car
brushing your teeth
using a water bottle
standing at an ocean that
yesterday was eleven hours away
salted sun burned skin
there’s nothing better
than fighting against waves
all day until you’re thirsty and sore
you find a hot dog shop
sit down at a table
and eat something so perfect
with someone so perfect
none of it would have meant
anything
there’s no story worth telling
without the one I love

That first stanza is perfect & engages the reader to read the rest!
