Your smile, how it still makes me grin,

Love apparent—

Not yet gone.

The day we kissed out by the lake—

I remember the cold icy water on that hot summer’s day,

You looked so beautiful in that sunlight.

Kisses and surprised looks,

Cowboy hats and finger guns—

Far from well-dressed.

When we spent all day in your room

And covered the window with blankets,

So that our night would never end.

Ourselves, in our element…

You and me—

The beauty it once was.
