A Mid-Summer's Night

A warm breeze blows through my hair As I walk down the well worn path The moon above illuminates the way Casting it's light around me The crickets chirp in the tall grass Playing their night time melody Up ahead I can hear the water Lap against the shore of the lake The lake where I first met her The place where I fell in love As I walk along the beach The cool sand under my feet Memories of her come rushing at me The walks on a mid-summer's night Holding hands, feeling complete I walk out onto the wooden pier Where we shared our first kiss With the moon and stars above As our only witness I close my eyes and can almost hear The sounds of our laughter Echoing across the water A tear slips from my eye Leaving a salty trail along my cheek For there is no more laughter in my life Opening my eyes, I look to the sky Wondering if she can see me On this mid-summer's night For she is with me in my heart
