Deep deep deep in the west, there's a bay where hundreds of sailors dock their boats to spend a night before heading out again.

Some stay a day, some stay a night, some may stay longer, but they will always leave.

Only lonely sailors pass this way,
They always come down to the dock bar and talk about their longing for their homes.

Missing their families.

And there's a girl in this town, who listens to those stories, she works at the docks, pour whiskey and win for those lonely sailors.

"Jennie, love, fetch us another round", They would say

Those sailors might be lonely, but they are still gentlemen.

"Oh Darling Jennie what a fine wife you'd be", They say

But no matter how handsome or polite a sailor will be.
"Jennie you're such a fine girl", They say

Jennie always declines.

"Jennie, baby, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea", they say

But Jennie has a braided necklace.
Laced with the finest silver from the North of Spain.
It has a locket.

A locket that bear someones Initial, words and pictures.

L.M
"My lighthouse"
A picture of young sailor.
Short black hair with bangs.

"Lalisa Manoban", Is the Name Jennie calls everyday.

The name of the woman Jennie loves.

Lisa is the one who will always hold Jennie's heart.
Lisa is the one who comes when winter thaws at the bright summer heat.
Lisa is the one that comes bearing gifts from wherever she sailed.

But Lisa is also the one who leaves for Lisa told Jennie no harbor was my home.

Yeah, Jennie could sit and stare at Lisa's eyes forever, she could listen to his sailor stories all day.
But Jennie knows, Lisa will never stay.

Some stay a day, some stay a night, some may stay longer, but they will always leave.

Jennie would feel the ocean rise and fall when she's around Lisa.

Jennie would see all glory in Lisa.
Some she respected and looked up to.

Lisa would always talk the truth.

What an honest woman she was.
Something that attracted Jennie more.
And Jennie does try her best to understand everyday why Lisa would always choose the Sea over her.

"Jennie, You're such a fine girl, what a wife you would be, But I can't stay for my life,my lover,my lady is the sea"

And everyday before work Jennie walks to the dock by the lighthouse and she will sit and look at the sun setting.

She will wait for Lisa to return.

And every night after she's finished working.

She walks the lonely road.
And think about Lisa
As she will always hear those world

"My life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Jennie will walk straight to the dock by the light house, for she knows no sailor docks there other than her Lisa.
She will sit and watch the stars, and the edge of the horizon where the sky kisses the sea.

Just for a spark of light.
A little hope.

Jennie is so concentrated on watching the horizon that she doesn't hear footsteps approach her on the wood.

"I knew I'd find you here", a voice sweet and thick like pure honey.

Jennie jumps to her feet and turn to look at those eyes she longed for.

"How did you get here?, where's your boat?", Jennie asked as she slowly approach.

"I dock it in town", Lisa said smiling.

"You never dock there",

"I know, but If i docked it her I would've had to dock it back in town because you know, its by law that a boat can't stay here forever", Lisa said and she gently encircled her arms around Jennie's waist

"You're staying....? Forever?, I thought you said the your lady is the sea and blah blah blah", Jennie ramble

"I did, but, you're my light house, my heart, my home", Lisa smiled and kissed Jennie.
