the promise
i saw her standing there
on the beach at water's edge
staring over the ocean
tears in her eyes
the sun, slowly disappearing
reaching out to her with fingers ~
rays of light straining to hold on
illuminating her angelic features
capturing a "last view"
even the trailing waves had to touch her
enveloping around her feet
with soft, warm caresses
night then covered the sky
yet she still stood there, alone
looking for something I could not see
just then, a falling star separated the night
caught her eye, she turned and smiled
she then ran and fell into me so hard
we both landed in the wet sand
"thank you', was all she said
and softly kissed my lips
i smiled, remembering a time
when I first told her i loved her
and she would always know
my love was only for her
when she looked up at the sky
and saw a falling star
but then again, they are always falling ~
not all things can be clearly seen in the daylight, even love
every star has my love written on them
and for my angel they are all hers...
