There are things you remember
Memories that remain clear
Ones that you treasure
Ones that you hold dear.
The first time I saw her
She took my breath away
What my heart felt
Words could not say.
The darkness of her eyes
The way the breeze danced
through her hair
The look on her face
That showed she didn't have
a care.
The silhouette of her body
Shone in the midday sunlight
Even though it was years ago
I'll still remember that sight.
I remember when she spoke
A shy, quiet voice
All she would say
Was she was here by circumstance,
not by choice.
I wanted to know more
I tried to get her to explain
But one look in her face
Showed it caused her too much pain.
Those days and nights
That we spent together
I knew in my heart
Were not going to be forever.
