There was a time
when days were full of joy.
The sun shone endlessly
and the hours were filled
with laughter and conversation.
When the rain fell softly on the
green and verdant earth,
and the warmth of the days teased
the flowers into life and
happiness was worn
like a favourite cloak.
Days when a childs smile,
full of love and innocence
gave promise of things to come.
Days of all embracing tenderness,
in joyous expectation of gentle touch
and loving words.
Days of pleasure and joy
filled with the knowledge,
only lovers ever have.
But now you have gone
and it is dark.
