No matter how much,
Darkness she is engulfed with,
No matter how much,
Cicatrise she hides.
No matter how much,
Pang she endures.
She will wait for him
Like the sand,
Waits for the sea.
Now,
She is sad,
She is crying,
She is broken,
She is in throes.
But,
She is still smiling,
She is still laughing,
She is still fighting.
She is always there,
At the crack of dawn,
Shining light upon him.
She is me,
And he is mine!
