Heart-Ache!
She mourned in his absence, still unprepared Not losing hope, concealing the despair Whenever she could, she’d look out the window, Run up the stairs For her heart ached to see him, have him near Going through every new day, Was like walking bare-footed through a hot desert Trying to get back to her normal life, Wondering whether to forget what she had promised to treasure Moving about with a soul that felt shattered Left confused and broken, but still happy that it was true and really had happened.
