"the magic has left"
@Uootem
I once thought of springtime as the season for lovers in love,
a time to spend their forever-days together
walking hand in hand through the greenest meadows
splashing in a playful brook of cool everlasting water
sharing their emotions under the shade of an old tree,
full of character and home for birds singing.
when we shared our vernal days so long ago
it was a time of youthful laughing, of untamed loving,
of kissing sweetened lips, of embracing all that we knew,
I thought we could easily spend forever there living our future.
But I watched intently as the sun set behind that world of ours,
with its colorful good-bye and subdued hues of promises broken.
you left me to watch the stars come out with anticipation of tomorrow.
but with the starlight twinkling came the bearing of their silent testimony,
that the love of the day had given way to the silence of the night.
abruptly, it became a time of memories and recollections,
a time for me to watch as couples become one,
when love blossoms into the full bloom of weddings and families,
but I could only watch, there was only one for me, and you were gone.
Today I sit under the same tree that used to shelter you and me,
I walk beside the brook and pass through the same meadow.
all that springtime brought to my world was lost,
the warm breeze is now only wind, and the bright sun is only light,
and the only emotion felt is an haunting loneliness,
I had found true love, and lost it too soon.
now you are not here to listen to the birds singing with me,
and I can't marvel at how the sun casts its light on your face,
I watch the same sun as it performs the time honored ritual,
but now I only watch my world turn darker still,
and those same stars, they only serve to mock me,
to remind me of what I once had in you, but lost so suddenly.
the magic has left my world, and everything is now just there.
