Always on My Mind

It was a thursday
It wasn't just any day
It was their anniversary day
A decade has passed..
She sat on the yacht waiting for him..
Every year she would sit on the same place waiting for him..
This time it was different
The yacht wasn't decorated
She sat there..
She waited..
An hour..
Two..
Three..
Finally he came running to her
He looked like he forgot..
"I'm sorry baby for being late," he said after kissing her forehead.
He turned on the engine and started driving
"Um where are we going?" She asked.
"Uhh well I forgot, so we're going to take a quick cruise because its getting late," he replied coldly
She sat down
She couldn't believe it
Is he cheating on her
She didn't believe that he forgot
She sat silently with tears filling her big brown eyes
She sat not knowing what was going on around her
She was deep into her thoughts
She dozed off into her own world
After thinking for what seemed like hours she woke up back to reality
All she could see was a blurry vision of red
She wiped her tears
She looked again
She saw flowers all over the sand
Candles floating on the water
Lights on the trees
Then..
She saw him
Standing in the water
Next to the stairs waiting for her

The most poignant of surprises are the ones you don't see coming, even better are the ones the people who you're angry at because they forgot, or they're ignoring, or they're simply not showing enough emotion... the wave of feelings that crashes into you surmounts everything you felt before that moment of surprise, shock; when you stand there aghast not knowing why in the world you ever blamed this person, when you stand there and remember exactly why you love this person this much... that to me is the most amazing feeling ever. It's one i don't think I'll ever get used to.

You captured the essence of those feelings in you words, and for that I tip my hat off for you.
