Breath-taking and colorful
Bittersweet and sorrowful
My memories of loving you are like favorite, gathered, Autumn leaves
Placed between wax paper and pressed like dress shirts with long sleeves.
Carefully without extra creases
Gently until each wrinkle ceases
Just a simple thought of our precious moments makes me stop and smile
And fondly reminisce in my cloud covered mind for a lovely long while
The warmth we shared
Knowing we each cared
The joy and silence we shared is saved “Amid the noise and the haste”
Our few memories remind me that there’s no time in this world to waste!
Opening up our souls
Accepting our roles
