My words...

THE WAIT

I walked on that lustrous sand,

As the sun kissed the seas;

With roses in my nervous hand;

Breaking a sweat in that breeze;

With each step closer to her,

My heart felt an extra beat.

As I came closer and closer,

I could hardly carry my feet.

There she was, still and calm;

Covered up in maples so new;

And basking in golden evening warm.

My lips murmured:"I love you!",

In a painful and husky tone;

Waiting long, for her to say.

She stayed still, under the stone;

"May be she'll say that someday",

I told myself, and walked away;

With salty tears, all the way.
