I am

I am but an empty shell
washed upon the shore
of a distant ocean

I am but a lonely wave
caressing the sand
of a moonlit beach

I am but a whisper
swaying along with the wind
of a land far away

I am but a dream
an illusion of what could become
of a young woman

I am but a hope
that lights up the dark
of the quiet night

I am but a half
and that is all I can offer
of myself, to you
