A Year in Review

I'll keep this one pretty metaphorical

For I don't want some one else to know

Like the day in the park

Lights out, it was dark

It was the best night of my life



Tennesee, such a memory

I hold a picture for old time's sake

I wish that you and I

Could go walking and talking again

Maybe see a shooting star



Like that night on the way back

Almost had a heart attack

Dodging a christmas tree

Or like the pictures we took

With the light of my headlights

Still they burn in my memory



School was over

I had to go over

No way I was going to miss that chance

One more chance to make up

Or throw on some fake smiles

Man they go on for miles



This is a year in review

Of a few good times

I had with you

But the bad times

Seem to overtake the good ones

Which is why you let me go



I hurt for a few months

Then tried to make it a dream

As if that half of a year

Meant nothing to me

But in reality

I grew up more each day



I sometimes wish to see that smile

Such a lovely smile

No more fake smiles to ruin my day



Keep looking up for a shooting star

When I see it, I'll know just where you are

City lights seem way too bright

In July

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was inspired to write this based on another poem I recently read...it made me want to cry or maybe fall down and die, those memories will never fade away

goodness this one's good.

Or like the pictures we took
With the light of my headlights
Still they burn in my memory

Those lines really struck me. Taking pictures by the headlights of a car...it just seems ultra sweet to me. Paints a vivid picture in my head, and ultimately makes me feel a little sad. not sad for me, but for you. Nothing like pouring your heart out for the world to read...and those were words from the heart. They had to be, or they wouldn't have touched mine.

much love and
many thoughts
