Sailing



seated here
on this cold hard rock
I watch for you,
out there,
drifting.
the taste of salt
on my lips,
I am breathless.
my tears,
insignificant
in comparison.
I see you drifting,
afloat on the ocean.
the sun is setting,
you wave to me.
coldness now replaced by hope,
a false sense of warmth.
