Saying Goodbye, Saying Hello
Standing at the shoreline
High above the sea,
Waving at the waves
Waving back at me,
Disconnecting
From this fairy tale;
Bittersweet
And surreal,
And I can't help but think
About finally seeing you;
After all this time
Can it really be true?
Will you recognize me
With my golden skin
And a soft, relaxed smile
You've never seen me with?
Will I still adore
The way you always smell
And can I still hug away
The pain of your week of hell?
Will you even have
A moment of your precious time
For a weary time traveller
Such as I?
Only time can tell that tale.

When I read this, I got the impression of the original "Little Mermaid"...lol Not the Disney version where it is all happy endings. I could feel the power of the ache in your heart. Amazing write...Reading the next one!

At least you're considering a possible future instead of dwelling strictly in the past. That's a really nice touch about the waves waving back at you! I get a sense of kindness from your work in general, Sammy, although here it's bittersweet. Excellent job.
