Lost in the moments of time
Scant memories
Of Youth
Running down the cobblestone sidewalks
Chasing an umbrella
Chasing a hopeless heart
Caught up in a dream
An infatuation
Pictures in the park
Her smile , as the sun shined
Reflected on her brown hair
We laughed the laugh of promise
The laugh of hope
The unspoken passion
Never tasted, only implied
We talked, and we dreamed
We knew it wasn’t to be
Days turned to weeks
As the truth stared us both in the eye
Another betrothed to
Another history already destined
We met one last time in the park
The sky knew my pain
As she cast the verbal dagger
Apologize for the pain
Turned and walked away
The sky broke
My heart broke
It’s the closest I ever came to cry
In that moment
The rain came
That was the day my only imagined love
Left without another word
My illusion was shattered
And
Died
