Untitled I

Title: Untitled I

Author: Thrawn

As I sat alone on my balcony

And wondered where my love could be

I gazed across the never-ending sea

And knew that she was near

The sun was setting in the west

My heart a-pounding in my chest

My mind unable to even rest

Until she's with me here

And then I saw a light below

A torch, no doubt, gave off a glow

I stood and shouted out "Hello!"

Could it be My Dear?

I ran downstairs so very fast

My mind raced back to days of past

My darling, my love was home at last

I longed to touch her hair

A quick push flung open the door

And my heart leapt up again once more

It was the woman who I adore

I smiled and held her near
