The Promise
Our eyes never met, our hands never touched, our lips never kissed.
All I had was his name that whispered in my ear like a secret: "David".
All I had was his promise that was made to me that night.
And so I wait for him, and I will wait until the end of time.

"We have to get out of here, my love," she said to him. Ashes flew and fire flamed all around them. "We have to do it for her." They both looked at their precious five year old who looked back up at them, eyes wide. "Come with me," he yelled as they ran to the west. A boat appeared among the ashes, untouched by flame. He took their daughter and lifted her onto the deck, then he turned to his love. "I'll be back, I promise. Take care of her and wait for me," he said, then ran off into the smoke. "Darling!" she screamed after him, but her words were obscured by the haze.
She ran across the field to him, her arms swung wide and her heart leaping with joy. They embraced, and that's when she read the name on his jacket.
And realized that he hadn't made it. But neither had she.
