She waits.
She wanders when he is coming.
Mourning from night to dawn,
She waits.

Suddenly, his shine hits her arm.
She raises her head,
glad to see him.
She follows wherever he goes
He makes her heart warm.

He goes away again.
But she knows he’ll come back.
So, she waits.

That was beautiful. It reminded me of the Greek myth of Eurydice, later Echo, and Narcissus. Where you thinking of them when you wrote this?
