Lost Love

She stood there on the lonely beach looking out to sea With the wind blowing through her hair she turned to look at me Her eyes were a deep dark blue like that of the sea They seemed to penetrate and search the soul inside of me When she spoke her voice fell so softly on the air While the winds seemed to scatter the words everywhere The sun seemed to dim so as not to harm her in any way As the sunrise gave forth from night to day But she was crying and there were teardrops on the sand For her love had been killed the night before in some foreign land She remembered their first date and their first kiss She remembered when he had to leave and how much he would be missed She wanted to hold him so very, very close again And hope that it would ease some of this pain But she knew that he was gone for he died yesterday So she put his memory in the back of her mind and walked away He is dead but she carries a life For my daughter was his loving wife
