My Summer Love

Don't lock your heart as Autumn beckons
Afraid youth fades as the leaves turn brown
Beauty is more than the eyes behold
Beauty is each moment together we stole
Wrap my heart around your finger
A young man at your feet I linger
What happens happens love cannot be define
I was always yours you were never mine
 Was I just a fling to pass those summer days
My summer love a young heart can't erase
The nights are longer and the days feel cold
My smile alone can't stop your dread of old
You told me to go but I would not leave
You had your fill I just started my need
In the night you shied away
But every dawn your love still stays
The emptiness I always feel
To new loves it slowly kills
I think of her of so long ago
Was she right to let me go
I had so much to give my first love
She took for her what was enough
So many springs so many new loves
But never the same as I felt once of
I think of you when the leaves turn brown
Did you ever find the love I thought we found
