To Whom It May Concern

As time draws near I hold tight to the memories we've

shared while accepting the chance to create more.

I'll keep them stored up in my mind like an old chest full

of treasured trinkets.

      Basking in your attention I can feel the warmth of your

love beaming down on me like the sun in late July.  

Swinging from your every word as they escape your beautiful

lips, I'm truly mesmerized by your beauty, charm & exquisite wit.

      The love we possess is as mysterious as the fireflies that

dance under the evening skies. I thought of capturing you in

a jar & keeping you for myself, but that would hinder your light

from shining. All good things must come to an end, but I will forever

love U.

Even though they say it will come back to you if it is meant to be, sometimes it does and you find yourself wishing it would go away...be careful what you ask for .
