There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
~George Gershwin~
“Will you wait for me?”
“Of course Darling, we’ve got nothing but time.”
The view from the window is always the same, as she waits for the man she loves to come home. There’s the longing to share a meal of grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup and sweet wine with him. To fall, without a care into bed, and make love till the first gray light of the next morning.

Lovely. (I should be more constructive, but your story’s just perfect – as long as he’s still alive to come home and she’s not staring at the view in vain.)
I promise you honey, he is very much alive. He WILL be coming home to her. To share everything. Even a simple grilled cheese sandwich…
That’s very good to know. Thanks for putting my mind at rest.
A wonderful little tale and good music to go with it…love Ella’s voice
Love Ella’s voice too. I think the little tale has the potential to become so much more than five sentences. Maybe it will become an entire life…..Maybe.
Beautiful song and what a fantastic voice!
I played Ella’s and Amy Winehouse’s version. Though I love Amy, I had to go with Ella’s. Her voice is wounded, but hopeful. Does that make sense?
Very romantic.
Honey, I am a romantic girl. Even if I say the word fuck, a lot.
Very nice!
Thanks Love.
