Deep Woods

The snow fell quietly

The air thick with cold

Warm breaths filled the air

She loved in her own way

He loved like everyone else

And when he knelt down on his knee

She held her breath; she didn't want to hurt him

"I'm not a Lady, never have been."

She went to war

He stayed, heartbroken

He didn't know what she saw; he didn't see the blood and the fire, and the fear

He didn't know if she would ever come back

Time had passed

In the snowy, deep woods

a thin figure appeared

just as she should

He was waiting

She had hoped he wouldn't

There he stood, strong and bold

She walked out into the open

She whispered, "Hello."
