Within The Shadows

She thinks of him, wishing he was by her side,
While sitting in the stillness of the night.
She hears nothing but the thunder rolling,
As the darkness is nearly blinding her sight.

She listens carefully,
As she hears footsteps.
She turns her head,
And sees a shadow moving just a few feet from her left.

Her heart beats faster,
As the thunder continues to roll on.
She calls out, "Who's there?"
But is interrupted by a call coming through on her cell phone.

She says, "Hello?"
He says, "It's me."
She recognizes the voice, and replies, "Where are you?"
He says, "Look back to your left and you will see."

While thinking it's really him,
She glances to her left and gasps.
She says to herself, I can finally hold him in my arms,
She lets out a deep breath and mumbles, "At last."

She runs up to him,
With arms open wide.
She's about to lay her head on his chest,
When suddenly, his figure subsides.

Now, waking up in a sweat,
She gazes around the darkness of the night.
She sits up, breathing hard,
While in shock and in fright.

She thinks to herself,
It was all just a dream.
As a single tear rolls down her cheek,
While sobbing, "No, please come back to me."

As she continues to gaze around at the shadows,
Now with tears streaking her face like rain.
She never knew a dream,
Could cause so much pain...

Please, tell me what you think. =]
