 She Waits by Lorraine Carey

She Waits

She'd rise every day
Getting her best dress on
Hoping he'd return
It had been too long

So much time had passed
She watched with hopes
As each ship that appeared
On the horizon was his

She knew his love for the sea
Was stronger than his love for her
What he didn't know
Was that she knew the sea
Long before he knew her.

She, too, had tasted salt on her lips,
Had danced with the tide in moonlit swells,
But she chose the shore, chose love, chose him—
While he chose only the endless waves.

Yet still, she waits, a shadow cast,
A figure framed in fading light,
Her heart was a beacon, burning bright,
For a ship that never turned at last.
