he wades through the waters of her heart
pushing through the barriers that stand in his way until he reaches the inner most hidden places of her soul
his clothes are torn, his hair is messy, but feels its worth it for what he is seeing
the long haired beauty from his dreams, seated on the greenest grass he has ever seen
her red and black curls blowing in the breeze, her violin rested on her lap
he steps closer until he is an arms length away
her voice echos through the trees, even though her lips aren't moving

he is the one she has loved forever, now he's so close but she is hesitant
he reaches out and touches her shoulder
suddenly, the sky turns gray, lighting reaches down and pierces her body
her body goes limp and falls backward into his arms

her once brown eyes turning gray and dim with every breath
