Like Every Morning
Like every morning, he opened the back door of the cottage, and stepped quietly onto the patio. Across the yard, he saw his beloved, standing quietly, watching the sun ease its way into the sky. He took three steps, and paused, closing his eyes. He could smell the scent of her skin, feel the soft brush of her long blond hair. Her smile was as radiant as the sun. In his estimation, her smile surpassed the sun in its brilliance. With a look of emptiness clouding his face, he opened his eyes. And, like every morning for the last 3 years, she was gone.
