Thunder In the Park

It was such a small thing. He saw her walking along the shore... walking away, as she'd always done. Without a sound, he heard every good-bye ever spoken between two lovers, slide effortlessly into the bay, while the sun's reflection dried the water into the smallest of pools. His eyes followed her forever...clinging like a new chick to its mother. When she turned with a backward glance, his eyes quickly found the sand beneath his feet as the sound of his racing heart thundered through the park.
