Sad, touching story. Your opening paragraph caught me and pulled me in. :)

Such a sad sad story. Yet it illustrates the truth of Solomon's writing: Many waters can not quench love, Rivers can not wash it away. Well told.

The writing is really lovely here but for me, the story would have been more effective if they had had a real life together before he left. (married/children) She was only 17. It just feels like the MC is so stuck in the far past and she ended up living a really introspective, boring life. I find that hard to admire in a character.

Just my opinion.

Really gorgeous writing though.:)
Such intense emotions! The end is doubly sad. I didn't see that last line coming. Congratulations on your EC. The judges were right on here. :)
