Memories

1/11/97

     Sunset in May
     with hopes of memories drifting away
     that unforgettable night in June
     is as far away as the moon.

     I gave her my heart in July
     like the wind she let it flew by
     August brought rain that stayed
     drowning my heart with tears every day.

     Green leaves fell and turned orange in September
     Yet memories of her lingers
     I built up my defense with bricks and clay
     But came the tide and washed it away.

     The sun came out in October
     With some luck I found a four leaf clover
     I put her close to my heart
     She promised we'd never part.

     Where have I heard those words before? 
     Without thinking I opened up the door
     It was cold, very cold I remember
     The snow came early in late November.

     I built an igloo to shelter her love
     Picked her the brightest star from above
     Like that night in June
     I even promised her the moon.

     That wasn't enough to cool her temper
     She melted away like the snow in December
     Memories haunted me day and night
     Just when will I finally see the light?

     January brought some tears
     with February lasting almost a year
     March came and gone
     April left at the crack of dawn.

     May became my worst enemy
     Left me with a life time full of memories.
