I stood at the beech watching the waves <br />Gone was the l ship that carried my love away <br />I looked till it became only a dot in the distant horizon <br /> <br />The sun was warm on my skin <br />I felt a breeze caress my cheek <br />soft like the tips of his fingers <br /> <br />Tears stung my eyes like the salt spray from the ocean <br />Gone was yesterday's promise of being together forever <br />Gone was the life I once loved and cherished <br /> <br />Left was the emptiness of days ahead <br />Long and lonely filled with dread <br /> not knowing what lay ahead <br /> <br />Tomorrow I would head my car for the <br />Retracing that trail of tears that was <br />forged so long ago <br />Heartache was my only friend <br /> <br />I can still feel the way my shirt twirled around me <br />as the wind blow soft against me <br /> I stood on the beach watching the waves <br />Gone was the ship that carried my love away <br /> <br /> <br />1989 Wilfred John<br /><br />WILFRED JOHN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saying-farewell-2/
