A Forgotten Love

A Forgotten Love

A Poem by JC Hawkens

That which I long for
I left somewhere in the past
My lovely fall dream

When my winter came
Long lost in spring was she gone
My sweet sad sorrow 

Thinking of fall days
Lost in thoughts of tomorrow
May of what will come

Hope of future days
Beauty is she that follows
Hearts mend on morrow

The past gets us like that, for real, "if only", the "if onlies".

I know, right. But what sweet remembrance those memories can be. And in poetic verse, what more adorable.
