July Rain

Every now and then,
a tear appears in my eye
when I think back 
of beautiful you and July.

You were mine once,
but I lost you in the fray;
my head was hung low 
when you set your wedding day.

I knew you looked stunning
in your white gown and train;
after that, my days were
filled with cold, driven rain.

You are always in my eye,
it should have been us that July.

I can just hear the Brooklyn Bridge with their hit song "Worst That Could Happen" as I read this piece. Johnny Maestro's voice is now coming in loud and clear. Good writing, George.
