Long Lost
LONG LOST
The first time I set eyes on you
I fell in love.
Your auburn hair, your freckled face,
Bewitching eyes.
And oh, the magic of your laughter
Coyly giggling,
Yet, in it’s very innocence,
Exuding sexuality.
Perhaps you knew how young men’s hearts
Quickened
The moment you entered the room.
You couldn’t know how my heart
Cried out
The moment you entered my thoughts.
And later, when you gently told me,
“It’s over”
You didn’t know you’d broken my heart.
And now, after all these years have passed,
Apart
As we’ve each lived our separate lives,
I still think back to that summer night
In the park,
When you told me it wasn’t to be.
And my heart breaks all over again.
