Seaside

Jenna waits.
Jenna waits and watches and knows
He won't return.
Mia keeps company.
Mia keeps company and cares and knows
That she will never stop waiting.
Because Isaac won't come back.
Because Isaac can't come back.
But Jenna will keep waiting
And waiting.
Garet comes to Jenna and says,
"Give up, Jenna dearest. Jenna, brightest star, greatest star.
He shall not return."
Garet loves Jenna.
But it is not the love Jenna needs
And so she waits
And waits
By the seaside.
Mia cries.
Mia cries and weeps and sobs
For Jenna to come with her
To Vale
To home
To a family that will always be there.
Sheba is there.
Felix is there.
Ivan, too, with his wife from Xian
A sister of Feizhi.
Jenna sighs and stares and refuses
To come to Vale
To a home
To a family that will never be enough.
Garet begs.
Felix argues.
But Jenna remains to wait
And wait
By the seaside.
Jenna is alone now.
Mia's left.
Garet's gone.
Sheba and Felix have a child
They've named Isa
A girl's name taken from an honored man.
And the only reason they took it
Was because they thought he was dead
And gone
And wouldn't return.
But Jenna knows better.
Jenna knows true.
Because Isaac promised to meet her
By the seaside
If she waited.
Jenna is older now.
Isa's grown
Married a good man from Vault.
But she is beautiful still.
And Garet still comes
And begs to her.
"Come to Vale with me
Dearer Jenna, still bright, still great.
He shall never return."
But again
Jenna sighs and declines
And stares out to the forlorn sea.
Where the foamy dreams are imprisoned
Along with her Isaac.
As Garet leaves, he calls out
That he will not ask again
For he is tired of breaking his heart
Every time.
Jenna nods and smiles grimly.
And she waits for the promise to be fulfilled
By the seaside.
Jenna is old now
And weary of life.
But Isaac's promise rings clear in her heart
And she waits.
There is no question of this.
Isaac will return
And she waits.
She stares out and her eye catches the faintest glimpse.
Jenna gasps and runs to the shore.
The hem of her dress is soaked
But she doesn't care.
He's returned
At last.
Isaac is just as she remembers
Young and strong.
And for an instant
She's ashamed of herself.
Then she realizes, that she too
Is young and beautiful again.
Isaac beckons to her
Come to me, he says without words.
Jenna takes his hand
And they fly
To the stars
Where they belong.
Isa's daughter, Jenni comes to Jenna's home
And stands on the threshold
And looks up
And sees.
Isaac kept his promise to Jenna.
To return to her, if she waited
And waited
And waited
By the seaside.
