She suddenly appeared in
the void of my life
like an asteroid
with a heated collision
in the depths of my heart
where love had been destroyed
she set a bonfire burning
in my soul that was yearning
for another chance
bringing me joy with love’s
sweet happenstance,
It started off with some drinks
then she gave me a wink
and a pretty smile,
so I sat down next to her
and even now I must concur
her eyes they drove me wild.
We talked about lots of things
and shared our hopes and dreams
almost the whole night long
then we shared a dance or two
that promised romance coming true
as the band played our favorite songs
then she gave me her number
on the bar’s last call
but for her and I it wasn’t
our last call at all…….
We spent a wonderful summer
right up into the fall
and man, we had it all
we had it all.
But she went off to college
chasing her last year of knowledge
and I was left behind…..
then her family moved away
and she was gone to stay
except within my mind
only ten weeks or so
of love I couldn’t let go
back in another time
just a taste of love’s
incredible wine
Leaving me memories
I keep enshrined
for all my loneliest days
on life’s dateline..
sweeest memories
that ease my lonely mind
remembering those days
when she was mine
