Goodbye

I. I waited again for you, until sunset, You had promised, you would come, Abandoned sea and cloudless sky, Was a perfect day to spend together. Now I know you will never come, For you I wrote, last goodbye on sand, It too shall be washed by roaring tides, And you will never know, I was there. How shall I mute memories of you, There aren't many but there are few, Where do I mend my broken heart, I wish we were together and not apart. II. I wasn't rich enough to be handsome, Your father told me two days before, Now I shall dwell in an unknown land, But I kept my promise, visited the shore. When you left, I gazed at the vacant sea, I touched your goodbye, on wet sand, You will never know, it wasn't the tide, But me, who wiped it, with sorrow hand. Feb 26, 2016.
