"As I do"

@Uootem

The sun shows its brightness... the sky such blueness
the clouds paint their visions of white... ever changing
if you wish you may see them as I do.

Daydreams bring their memories... remembered for all time
of love once shared under similar skies... when the day was new
if you wish you may recall them as I do.

The moon glows in its fullness... illuminating darkened night
the stars twinkle with a promise of tomorrow... a wish at one falling
if you wish you can believe them as I do.

A rose with sharp thorns and radiance... painful beauty seen
a thirsty flower seeks to taste a drop of love... necessary for life
if you wish you may sip this passion as I do.

Think not of this serene season... for seasons change
think of those moments we shared long ago... in springtime
if you wish you may know of hoping as I do.

And I will miss the visions of springtime... our youthfulness
perhaps I shall cry in the losing... first love gone to soon
If you wish you may feel the emptiness as I do.

I would be happy if the seasons never changed... but they always do
if our love had lasted all year through... to warm the winter wind
our love could have made it, if you had wished as I do.
