So long ago I remember it well
When the dew of youth spirted my days
The touches we shared as two united
Linger in my minds eye

Time is rewarded with memories of long ago
Yet this age still can reflect on feelings
Of stirrings almost forgotten

A thought of his touch still brings a want
The memory of him inside makes me yearn
His loss still ignites burning sadness

Yet the choice to leave was one made by time
For if he was here, he would still be mine
And together we would have been as one
But fate as it so readily intervenes
Decided my memories are to be
What I am left with....not he.
