...in a Stormy way!

By the water's rippled edge,
"I Love You," I should have said.
I should have held you 'Oh' so close.
While the water beat the Dock's posts.

But my thoughts were chained by Pride,
I walked away and I know you cried.
The Water's swells raged from a storm,
Dark clouds circled and began to form.

I felt the rip go through my chest,
realizing my life was such a mess.
I turned to see your 'Smiling' face,
I felt my blood boil and race.

Pelting rain thus began
soaked up by the shoreline sand.
A wave goodbye from your hand,
Down your cheek the water ran.

Thunder cracked and lightening flashed,
I turned my head and away I dashed.
I should have said "Goodbye" that day,
I left you standing in a stormy way.
