Tears I Cry

When I cry,
                                                                 
it was because we needed to say good bye.
                   
Tears are like the quiet drift,
                                           
of petals from some magic rose.
                                     
And grief yet flows from the rift,
                                     
of unremembered skies and snows.
                               
I start to remember when we were young,
                     
when the words would roll off my tongue.
                       
All the fun we had,
                                                         
you made me laugh and never sad.
                 
Where did the many years all go,
                                   
I have no idea-I do not know.
                                         
I long and wish you were still here,
                                 
guess time made you just disappear.
