The Power of Love

Sitting on the shore of the ocean, the waves gentle and calm touching me, as if, they felt the way I love you. The sun setting slowly, looking almost as if, into the ocean itself; shined it's last ray of light upon me, also feeling the strength of my love for you. Possessed with the feeling of love, I begin walking barefoot in the sand, toward an image of you. Visions of you flashing rapidly through my mind, force me faster toward your image. Close enough to touch, I stand and watch as you image disappears into the fog. Once again, I sit on the ocean's shore touching every wave; but now, only I can feel and know of the way I love you.
