Summer Wind

The summer wind ceases

As the leaves become a blur of red and brown

The air is crisp and cool, sending a shiver down my spine

I awake from the endless dream of you

The summer nights where we were lost in one another

But as the leaves fell from the trees,

Your eyes lost that gleam

And your kiss lost that electric spark

I suppose these summer nights could not last forever

Just as we could not pass time’s test

It wears a hole in my heart to know

One day you may not even remember my name

See my friend, I am not one for change

I grasp and grip the memories of the past, I keep pictures in my pocket and live on memory lane

I see you in his eyes but he will never be you

Goodbyes are my least favorite subject and time is not always my friend

I dread how the pages never stop turning and you cannot pause or rewind moments.

I lost you in the summer sunset

Somewhere between the shining stars and ominous moon

And deep in the ocean’s waves

Seasons will change and years will go by

But you will never have left my mind
