To Sweet, Sweet Elizabeth, 1969

Your soft, rose tinged 
and freckled cheeks 
so beautiful; aglow 

I still can see them,
though you were mine,
so very long ago

Your curls, a frame
of sunshine for a
shy and smiling face

Your tender heart
and gentle voice,
pure memories of grace 

Our sweaty palms,
our nervous laughs,
the sweetest agonies

Two hearts in love,
two worlds apart,
the saddest destiny
