She stands
Eyes down
She stares
Eyes down
The sea laps around her feet
Her eyes stay down
The waves kiss her ankles
She keeps looking down
Her hair blocks her view
She refuses to look away
A hand on her shoulder
She ignores it
Slowly it pulls her in to an embrace
She keeps looking down
His arms do not stir her
Eyes down
His lips on her forehead do not wake her from her trance
Eyes down
His whisper in her ear turns her gaze upwards
Eyes meet
Tears fall
Smiles share
"Together?"
"Together"
