Many Miles Away

She heard the distant drumbeat As it floated on the wind Its rhythm echoed in her mind As she looked deep within She stared out her window, at the setting sun And as she watched it disappear She thought of her loved one Oh how she wished he was near But he was on a distant shore Thinking about her too So many miles away love grew As he listened to the waves roar

Love the way you have painted this romantic longing in words. The use of the word "drumbeat" then the roar of the waves... many miles away made me think of the WW2 Battle--"D" Day.
