I look over the horizon hoping it is only a delay

The vivid colored memories now turning grey

At dusk did he bid ado

As if our dreams were not about to come true

He says he had a vision to live under water

I though it was ludicrous so why even bother

He told me he had a mission to complete

Apparently it had nothing to do with me

His shocking revelation made me open my eyes

He was a free man

It took some time to realize

That I can not hold him back in this dull lifeless land

I let him go and live his dream my smile about to falter

I told him to return once the sun kisses the water

I thought it was easy or so it seemed

It is only half past midnight

Yet all I can see is the haze of the changing night

I stand alone on this dock

My mind only trying to contemplate

The only sound to be heard is the ticking clock

For it is your love I await
