That Was Us

Weeks pass
	and words cannot help but fail me.
The expression of the season
	whimpers quietly on the sideline.
Waiting, wishing hoping and searching exasperate the mind 
	as nothing appears to raise my spirit.
A period of nothing but empty loneliness recalling years 
        when you were here sharing, celebrating the joy.
We are so deafened by the season
	and in its brief life, relive memories of the heart.
Memories that tend to fade like the words,
	reconstructing poorly what was us.
Come back to me
	enlighten all we shared.
Return to me again
	with the words and the love,
the dreams and the happiness, the life
        that was us.
