Love Poem: Staring Out To Sea

Staring Out To Sea

I stood upon the shore and stared,
I stared far out to sea.
To where the horizon met the sky
In perfect symmetry.

The shore, it was desolate
A lonely place to be.
Seagulls called in plaintive cry
As though they pitied me.

Alone, I listened to the waves
As they lapped upon the sand.
How I wished that you were here
And we were hand in hand.

But you were taken from me
It was not our destiny.
So there I stood, on my own.
Just staring out to sea.
