Into the Sea

I watched you from the shore
as you walked into the inky black sea
the moonlight illuminating the shape of you.

I listened to the sound of the waves
as they rolled gently onto the shore
then there was only silence.

And in the morning
I watched the sunrise over the horizon
saw the vast emptiness-

And knew that you had left.

What an imagery dearest, Julie! One day when least expected the emptiness would disappear and love would feel the void! Beautifully written! Hugs xxx
