Looking at her looking out to sea,
She stands there with a sad smile gracing her face
Yet all I want to do is comfort her
Together we'll get through this, just you and me.
I hear the heart felt sigh as from her lips it does escape
She knows I'm near but continues her stoic stance
She has given me time to discover warmth anew
I reach for her hand as we look out over the seascape
Together we stare off into the distance
Wondering if we will ever be whole again
She with her physical being back
Mine to love, perchance.
Finally the moment has passed us by
And life on the boat begins to stir
For that moment it was just we two together
Now warriors we be, and neither may cry.
She turns to me with something to say
Yet there is a deep sadness and hurt in her eyes
I know she wants to know what has happened
So I lean in, and kiss her fears away.
