i stand on the shore

i stood on the shore & called your name,
but you did not answer.
the sea birds whirled & dove.
the waves washed, washed, washed rocks.
but still, you did not answer.
the wind was unnaturally still.
a small crab skittered into a puddle.
but still, you did not answer.

i stand on the shore & call your name.
i will call until you answer,
even if that means i must call forever -
this is my love for you.
