Sense Sonnet - Acher

Long Lost Love

He phoned her if he could stop by.
She said that that would be just fine,
And felt that a proposal was why
His visit was by that design.
But, he never came, and strangely
He disappeared without a trace.
So many years went by, and she
Sometimes would remember his face.
While diving in a nearby lake,
Some divers found a car down deep.
She learned the news and felt heartache,
That here he'd found his final sleep.

And clutched in his eroded hand
Was a diamond engagement band.
