A Sky Of Fireflies

As the evening starts to wander in and The sun finds her place to hide, I smile and close my eyes as my thoughts Take me back to another place and time. It takes me back where a young man Stood by my side, Though it had been so long ago I could still see him stand there and I Remembered how I loved him so. We’d walk together hand and hand Planning how our life together would be. He taught me how to catch fireflies and told me How they glowed only for me. We walked along in the evening night But that was a long time ago, We’ve changed as one could see A sudden breeze brings me back to This time and reality, As I open my eyes I see a sky of fireflies And the man who promised he’d always Stay by me
