The Eyes Have It

Take me away to a time when our moon hushed the sounds of the night where lemongrass eyes sent shivers inside and I helplessly swooned Enter again where those warm cinnamon swirls yearned for romance a hand to reach out entwined with a beat a vision so sweet swayed in each gentle breeze How I would retreat to simpler days apricot wine our world in your gaze vibrant the look my heart you had took enjoying the bluebird in May I remember it well as the memories do swell time why have you carried her away

Yes time does hurt and in time heal.Why di time take her away? Just like I want to know why my husband cheated.. on me.I do not think we will know the answer. My husband passed away.Have a good day my friend.
