A Traveler's Story- Part 1

My first love will always be the sea, he said, as he continued and sighed. Even though I know on shore a raven haired beauty with a loving, warm heart waits for me on land of endless tides. She offers me the comforts I need and her smell of lilacs, my heart to her it leads. Her small hands each time waves good-bye and without her knowing it, my heart deep inside cries. Happy to sea I may be, but I know someday she'll grow tired of waiting for me. A Traveler I may always be for my soul will forever belong to the sea. There is only one thing she asked of me and it was to promise to share my heart with her through out eternity; This for her I can do, but to my first love, she knows I will always be true.
