In the Sigh of Memories
we sat
on a blanket of grass
beneath ebony skies
the stars reflecting
in your eyes
as the moon
cast a lambent light
atop the lake nearby
where silhouettes danced
to the cicadas song
we clung to hope
like leaves to trees
as we breathed
within summer's breath
we saw forever
in the span
of a star studded sky
a glisten in eyes
never goodbyes
we wished
upon a fallen star
that love
nor this night
would ever end
we watched
as dreams
dissipated
like fog
within the dawn
as we fell apart
now we only exist
as we breathe
through the sighs
of memories
