She stood at the docks.
Her arms held open.
Her eyes closed tight.
She was hoping, wishing,
That is was not the end.
Needing and wanting,
His protective embrace.
His strong arms,
Round her small frame.

The waves crashed.
The thunder rumbled.
Her arms fell to her sides.
Her eyes shot open.
Sweet familiar tears,
Streaking her pale completion.
She fell to her knees,
And sobbed.
She wished for it to be a dream.

She sobbed.
She screamed.
She hoped.
She wished.
She regretted.
She stood up.
She missed him.
And, she was alone.

Again.
