Once Upon a New Years Eve

It was only to be a fling but it turned into the real thing a night she will always remember set in stone like the end of summer in September when Portuguese met France their hearts went into a trance "Never more shall we be apart, true love in me you did kick- start" As the ball is dropped and to his knee he lowers with shocks and steers from the festive party goers he asked the ever popular question` her heart speed up with fervent aggression As her skin begins to fill with blue and red hue the claps and shouts begin to brew she says yes and he placed the ring on her finger sadly on the digitus quartus it did not linger On a cool winter's nights she looks up at the stars as memories flood and tugs at her scars she looks at an empty finger were hopes and dreams were once placed where time and unforeseen occurrences had erased It was only to be a fling but it turned into the real thing a night she will always remember good things sometimes come to an end for the better
