    Gently, I stare out into the abyss,
    Unwary of this solid stare,
    I stand up,
    She stays put,
    I lean down,
    And whisper to her clear.

    She seems surprised I said that,
    After waiting for so long.
    I'm not denying it anymore,
    I'm sure I wasn't wrong.

    She remotely stared at me,
    Befuddled at those simple words,
    When lightning coarsed through the air,
    A flash,
    She was no longer there.

    Dumbfounded as I was,
    I had lost something so dear,
    Because I took the chance,
    The words I spoke
    Provoked but a dreadful tear.
