A Girl At Every Port

Julian stood on the deck in his bright white uniform,  a matching smile glowing on his face. He waved to the girl on the pier, calling out sweet words and giving full attention to her beautiful face. As the boat moved away from the shore, Julian smiled. One more. She was one more girl to fall under his charms. It was all so perfect, his moving around like this. None would be the wiser, except him.
The girl he left behind was not as fortunate as he. She loved Julian... at least, she thought she did. Now he had left and she didn't know what to do, what to say. She felt the loss dearly, and would have loved to have expressed her feelings to another, but no one would understand. Instead, she simply wept, her beautiful face filled with a deep sadness, her eyes sparkling with the wash of tears. It was too much, simply too much.
If only she had known! If only someone had told her, when she met him, that he did not care for her as it seemed, that he only wanted to add a tally to his list. Then she would have stood a safe distance away as he tried to capture her. She hadn't known, though, and there he was, with his riveting blue eyes... it was too much for her to resist. Now he was gone, and she was left to deal with the aftermath alone. It would be a long and hard road for her courage to climb once again.
He couldn't have cared less. He had taken what he wanted, and was gone forever.

(This isn't an exact narration, only my somewhat exaggerated feelings, about something that happened to me...)
