A Memory

Ywp cedar art.png [Art by cedar]The sunset is fading away with the white puffy clouds,
and I turn and gasp as I see you sitting next to me. 

The stars are twinkling now,
and you're watching them thoughtfully.

The moon is sparkling on the dark blue lake,
and your hand is cutting through the glass-like top.
Ripples dance across the once smooth surface,
and you giggle quietly.

A sweet bubby giggle,
just like the stream that trickles into the lake
by the shore.

You look up at the dark sky again,
and I want to stay here with you forever but I know I can't.

I watch as you slowly fade away,
and I look up at the stars.
Knowing you're up there watching me now.
Knowing you love me.
Knowing you will always love me.
Knowing you always have.
And knowing that
this memory will never fade like the soft pink streaks of dusk.
