Longing

His love for her was strong but still, a longing in his soul took him to where he could be free, but ocean’s take their toll. He never did return although she waited faithfully. Day and night she sat there watching, hoping she would see. She prayed that his ship would return but fate will have its way. She waited til her time was spent, until her hairs were grey. And all the while I watched her with a longing in my soul. My love for her, she never new. Yes, fate will take it’s toll. We all live lives of longing. I suppose that’s how it goes. Where empty oceans, chairs and lives are all we ever know.
