Time passes and memories fade, feelings change, people leave
but the heart never forgets”….Author Unknown
It was the perfect time to be in love, and we were.
Sun glistening off the water, birds chirping in
Treetops high above
It wasn’t organized, it wasn’t planned, we just were
And everything was right in the world.
The intensity was matchless, life was there for
The taking and we took again and again.
Like raindrops on roses, he added to my favorite
Things and I needed/wanted only him.
That young Love, that hot buttered melt in your mouth biscuits
kind of love
That time when we were indeed free and open.
Worries seemed miles away, never intruding on the times of us.
And now, I still love him – just differently. In my mind’s eye
In the fullness of life and age. In the memory of how it was
In the times when he loved me.
Through the years I’ve missed that – the love that is.
But somehow in my heart I hold on to that perfect time
Of us. There are even times when I could shed a tear for the
Us of then, for the us that dissipated much too soon.
Sunshine doesn’t last forever. Cloudy, rainy days
permeated our world. Winter came much to soon
And there he left me to find his happily, ever after.
And today, my heart weeps.
