The Moment I Never Forgot You
The whole neighborhood was silent,
silent enough that you can only hear the crickets chirping.
It was getting dark outside.
I ran to my bedroom window.
Slowly gazing across the midnight sky.
Dangling from up above were millions of dewdrops of stars casting bright glows.
Only one star caught my eye,
it was luminous and enchanting and it was like the queen of the universe.
I knew it was a special star.
It reminds me of my dog Cindy.
We had great times together, playing fetch and hide and seek.
But this time it was something worse,
worse than any bad memory I had,
or a sore throat I get when I didn't put my jacket on,
a kind of feeling I get when I hate a book I read,
an unforgettable rumor that was made about me,
a day that it rains.
You tell me it is too late to remember the great times I had with Cindy,
but that is because Cindy is gone.
