"He waited for her yesterday,
She never came.
He waited for her today,
She never came.
And, he waited for her as he lay dying, faraway.
It was a rainy November day,
With a faint moon,
hovering uncertainly in the sky.
And, somewhere, amongst the bare trees,
He could hear a sparrow cry.
He closed his eyes,
To imagine, to believe,
That She was there by his side;
During his final hours,
between those, oh, so cold sheets.
Upon closing his eyes,
vivid images came to mind.
How they first met;
Two lonely souls sitting on a lonesome rock!
The warm breeze, the cold sea...
He had thought that life could be as wonderful as can be.
And as She lay in his arms that night;
Stars flew above them, twinkling bright.
But She was not not to be his Angel,
forsaking him before the moon could glisten upon them again.
It was a rainy November day.
He could hear a sparrow cry.
His eyes opened,
And saw the deathly whiteness of the room.
He breathed his last,
before He could think of Her again."
Beautifully written .Very well explained the pain in love .

The expression of a longing soul waiting to see his beloved. There is pain and hope.

Beautifully written. It captures the feeling of longing, in a way I haven’t come across lately.
