Morning breezes, trees swaying, the harsh winds, it all pained her. But, no not just before the morning sun came did she weep for her lost beloved, and only did the midnight moon know her secrets.

Her feet, warm and wet in the sand, her knee-lengthed dress grazing her legs. There was not much in her mind these days, only the masterpiece that lied within his eyes.

Now, lost, she has no reason and all depth to her existence has failed this fair lady. The remnants of the waves fall upon her feet, cool and clear. The sun brighter than before watches, as she steps slowly into the ocean. In knee deep she smiles, blessing the skies with perfection.

She whispers "Darling, you were all I ever wanted."

Finally, underneath the surface of the sea, eyes closed, smile fading, her mind betrays her body in need for oxygen. She sinks deeper, drowning and this was the most alive she's felt since after him.

The moon may have known all her secrets, but only did the sun see through all of her flaws.
