Alive Once**
Sitting here staring out the window,
wind blowing the tree’s around
and shaking loose some remembrances
of Spring days,
red hair
and the secret stream
hidden behind your dad’s land.
We used to sit there
under the oak,
tell each other secrets,
our youthful, wide eyed dreams.
~~~
Funny, in a way,
this memory of you-
it was one of the few times
I can say
I was happy, carefree
and wanted to be alive.

thanks for reading... the music link is Diana Ross, "Love Hangover"
This was a song we loved together and I just couldn't leave it out of the poem. See I still do write you poetry.
