If I had a dime

If I had a dime I'd pay for the time that I had lost long ago but I only have a penny and a head filled with many memories of summer spent with you Now it's winter, and I still think of the summer nights although we had our fair share of fights nothing compares to those 90 days of having you by my side Understand me when I say of course, I miss your presence or the way you laugh But if I had a dime I wouldn't ask you to be mine this valentine Hearing your name, I can't help but smile mainly at the remembrance of those childish days but not as the person you are now though you have fooled me once I shouldn't let you fool me twice So, if I had a dime I wouldn't let you waste my time, but i'd keep the summer nights when you were sincere and I was merely naive for following my dreams.

Your poem eloquently captures the bittersweet nostalgia and reflection on a past love, skilfully weaving together themes of time, memories, and the complexities of emotions... Great first post Fiona, welcome to Poetry Soup..
