The day was a good one The sun was out The cold didn’t bother me one bit No one got in the way I didn’t flinch at the sight of two people talking Talking about dreams and no doubt planning a future together He had his hands in hers Looked at her so intently I almost choked up at the sight I forgot what I was thinking about It made me long for you There was a time when you looked me that way Under the stars In the company of crickets and fireflies We talked We pouted and fought We laughed We always looked forward tomorrow Until they ran out The stars are still there The crickets come out But the fireflies left a long time ago
