Not Left In the Cold

A cold December day not to long ago...
Our hands slipped apart as one was to go...

The chill on my neck I can still feel as if frozen in time...
I sat on the bench and searched for reasons I could 
never find...

My eyes tearing from the cold as I gazed over the 
pathway to the trees...
My heart was floating and tossed around the frozen
baron sea...

I could still see the table where we shared our first 
picnic and kiss...
On that warm spring day,I never thought it would 
be a love I would have to miss...

I take from that a lesson that I hold tight and dear...
I will forever remember to love with no boundaries or fear...

Yes, as James below me said, this one is very touching, Michael. I could really see this person just pondering his lost love on a cold December day!

So sad and touching, Michael. You let the reader share a gently recalled memory. Like the way you ended it by explaining how you'd grown from this experience. Love, Carolyn
