I sit on a shore and await my lover.
He of the golden hair,
He of the ocean's eyes.
A clear and lucid blue.

I walked on the shore towards my lover.
She with the laughter of bells,
She of an angel's face.
A soft and smiling face.

I turned towards my lover,
And kissed him sweetly.
I took him by the hand,
And led him along the beach.

I walked with my lover,
'Til at last we could walk no more.
And then we sat,
Sat upon the shore's soft sand.

Upon the soft sand I whispered secrets into my lover's ear,
I told him secrets,
Gave him pledges.
How little I did know.

I listened to my lover,
And believed her every word.
I vowed to follow her,
Through hell and beyond.

I led my lover astray,
Planted doubts and evils within his mind.
I watched his soul decay,
Until I could watch no more.

My lover ruined me,
Until I could stand life no longer.
The one I had entrusted with everything,
Had betrayed me.

I watched my lover die.
And for him shed not a tear.
But for the memories,
For these I cried.

I awaited my lover in heaven,
Waited as long as I could bear.
And then upon her,
My back I did turn.

I missed my lover,
Unduly so.
I had encountered,
A shocking chasm within me.

I felt something shift in the cosmos,
I felt a change of heart,
A heart I knew so well.
I turned my head over my shoulder.

I walked toward my lover that day.
Many a year later.
I begged his forgiveness,
For him had I wronged.

I watched my lover walk towards me,
Watched as she outpoured her soul.
I experienced a moment of fleeting doubt,
This I quickly suppressed.

I told my lover of life on earth without him,
Expressed my feelings of sorrow.
I told him I regretted my actions,
And prayed for understanding.

I listened to my lover's words,
And knew she spoke the truth.
So I said the words that had always been true,
"Now and forever, I love you."
