One year ago

One year ago

We were nearly lovers

One year ago

The closest of friends

One year ago

I was approaching bliss

We lay in embrace

Under a tree by the lake

Our stolen moment

Such a sweet interlude

Being in love

With you

Time has had its way

What once was so

Completely entwined

Has been utterly

Torn apart

Just one year ago

(2015)
