Long has this night fallen
Yet still I lie awake
Tired, drenched and distracted
Recalling that spring day
When the winds were cooler
And the grassblades stood fresh
Under shady shelter
Where the sunfires burned less
And so I reminisce
Think best not to complain
About the heat and sweat
The bothersome today
I choose to think of then
Smiling, hearing you laugh
A warmth like never since
Maddeningly in love
