Standing…
Where once
was you.

I gaze out…
Watching…
Waves
… gently roll.

I dream.

Sounds
… of the sea.

Feeling of sand.

I close my eyes
And…,
Again
Here you stand.

A touch
… on my hand
Takes me;

In a moment
Just a moment
I am free.

Free, to go
… to long ago
When…
It was you…
Who was wanting me.

Laughing lovers;
Dawning sun;
Gentle spray
… from the sea.

Suddenly,
Words...
“ I love you”

A moment of joy
Turns…
To tragedy.
