Even though it has been years since he is gone, still her eyes keep wandering towards the rising and the setting sun every day of the year.
She never leaves her house; “what if he comes in my absence?” is her fear.
Today the milkman saw her in the morning, the paperboy found her near the station strolling and the gypsy woman said she saw her waving a paper, crying with an awkward smile.
The man on the bicycle heard her mumble; she had his letter and intended to pursue the sun until it set.
Pity they felt for her, for the date on letter was before his death but blind in love and tired by waiting she had found her rescue in the sunset.
She probably will be in his arms very soon or else you may find her tracking the sun until the moon rises.
