I'm In Love Again...

As a child, I prayed for her to be mine and watched her woo me subtlety with her smile.  The breeze she carried with her reminded me of sunsets and sunrises and her voice was that of a beautiful songbird that wakes you up in the morning.  It was more than just love...I was infatuated and God granted my prayer.  I wanted her and one day as a man...I would have her.  Not for "need"...but for "want".  That a dream would come true and I would feel closer to complete.  At times with her, I did...

She let me know she was still there for me as we walked the Bay Ridge promenade.  A beautiful breeze hit and at that very moment all I could see was her beautiful face again.  Flashes of the good and bad.  Times I despised her and times she comforted me.  Memories rushed in and I came to a conclusion.  Our parting of ways was not a "falling out of love" but rather precipitated by external forces that neither of us had much control of.  I now know what I need to do.  I know how to make it right and my love will return to me.

And this time...she will stay...

She is the sea...
