She cried out to her beloved
As his figure stood fading on the horizon
The ship carrying him further and further away
The mist of the sea was the ghost
Left to console her
As she was left to bear the weight
Of their last sunset spent together
Yes the sun will remain the same
But in her eyes the whole world had changed
The shadow he left had darkened the land
The pain of their last kiss
Multiplying in her head
And as the last dot faded on the horizon
She wept

He watched the shore until he could no longer see her
Her figure fading into the landscape
Unifying into everything he will miss
The sea is his new maiden
Yet he can't bring himself to accept it
With his lips still numb from their kiss
What stands behind him
Had stolen his sight from what was ahead
His feet had planted themselves
In some vain attempt
To stop the world from turning
Or at the least stop the ship
Yet it kept moving
And the distance kept growing
And as the last vision of land faded
He wept
