Days Long Gone

I opened the book

to get some poesy out of it

but instead I got you

with your arms around my waist

and your big eyes blue

as the blue sea behind us.

I was smiling

and so were you

and life seemed so much easier

because they're all just memories now,

all just past,

and what's behind us

can never last

but was it wasted?

I take another look at the picture

and we seemed truly happy;

my arm around your shoulder,

your blue eyes staring,

the blue sea glittering,

the sky all over.
