Their
hands intertwined on the dance floor, locked
together
as he put his arm around her waist. It felt
warm,
so comforting and so reassuring. It was said
that
the eyes are the windows to a person's soul but
for
them, as they gazed into each other's eyes that
night,
as time froze for that perfect moment, they
looked
into each other's hearts. She placed her head
gently
upon his chest and held it there, wanting and
wishing
that it could be like this forever.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
moon shone dimly that night, the gentle lapping
of
the waves against the shore added to the serenity
as
they held each other's hands and strolled along
the
water's edge. Both had said nothing that night,
both
had just remained in silence, each wondering
what
was on the other's mind. She, thinking about
how
perfect the last three weeks had been, just like
how
perfect tonight was. He, ... He stopped and
glanced
out over the waters. Sitting her down, he
sat
behind her and wrapped his arms around her. He
rested
his head gently on her shoulders and she felt
that
same warmth that had captured her that very
first
night.
She
thought she heard him sigh and out of her eyes,
she
thought she saw his glisten with tears. She
broke
the hold and turning back, she looked into
those
eyes. Nothing was said and nothing was done
but
his eyes told her that he had to go. The
questioning
look of "why", "when" and "will u be
back"
never was answered as he whispered softly into
her
ear, "I love you," before disappearing into the
night.
She
felt it, warm trickles down her cheek, warm like
his
hold. She looked over where they had walked
along
the beach and already, the tide had reflected
reality
as his prints were washed away, leaving hers
alone
by themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every
night, she came back to the shore; every
night,
she pined for his return. But every night,
was
always the same....
