For the contest, "A Silent Kiss" by Constance La France

A silent kiss, forgotten song,
      Are the moments I've strung along 
A necklace of days I once knew,
     that became broken without you

Summer's breeze carried us in clouds, impossibly high
We flew so far away, we were but a whispered sigh
 lilac meadows remind us to hear, and not forget
 Each silent kiss becomes a gold and crimson sunset

      I sit alone 'neath branches bare
      with chilly voice, wind tries to share  
      a remembered song, springtime bliss 
             But I just think of our first kiss

      Lonely, waiting, the hours last
      Each long day yawning to exist   
      Stolen are days as they go past
             And then I hear your silent kiss
