That Night In June

We had a picnic here that June, And laughed as rabbits played. We should have been back home by dark, But we were young and stayed 'Twas a day the world was perfect - The smells the breeze and she. Darkness came as the night took hold, And she had chosen me. We stopped the world a little while, And smiled that it was so. Held each other in eager arms - It wasn't long ago. Too soon the world began to turn, And swallowed up our love. The Summer days were gone and left The darkened clouds above. Life moved on and took us with it - We'd different seeds to sow. But I recall that night in June - It wasn't long ago July 29, 2016 For Contest Romance In The Night
