Faded Love

Alone again thinking of you

Memories flow when love was new

Sunrises and sunsets defined our fun

Picnics, walks, feeding ducks in the sun

Conversation absent as eyes remain transfixed

Lovers forever, before than immutable statistic

 

Tell me your thoughts, I won’t get too near

Protect boundaries one holds so dear

Trust was elusive when first we met

More comfortable now when eyes are wet

Lay your head on my shoulder one last time

Remember when you were mine
