Image: Stealthily moving
camouflaged by the darkness (here)
A young maiden
Trudging in the evening dusk
Clinging against hope vying for strength
Her beauty only for him
Gathering storms building up
Bidding for a good omen
A sign of awakening
An offering nonetheless
Stealthily moving
Camouflaged by the darkness
Puddles in the cobblestones
Intermittent rain did not deter her
She quicken her pace almost running
Stealing glances to her back
Why? What was the motive
Leaving in such a hurry
Intermittent rain did not deter her
She quicken her pace almost running
Stealing glances to her back
Why? What was the motive
Leaving in such a hurry

A mysterious figure and you build the suspense around it brilliantly.
