Mimi With the Red Umbrella

Once a young French girl
stole my heart
and ran away to Paris without me,
I was young too and knew what to do,
I went to Paris too,
I found her sitting in a Little Parisian café
along the way to see the Eiffel Tower on a rainy day
we proceeded to the Eiffel Tower together
walking quicky in increment weather,
both seeking safety under her red umbrella,
we both got wet, it was a small umbrella,
she laughed at me and said I looked like a wet rat,
I smiled at her and said she looked like a sexy cat,
time progressed as we shared our first summer
having lots of fun in Paris rain and Paris sun,
we were a match for about a year I'll say,
everyday we'd laugh and play
until one day Pierre stole her heart
and Mimi took her red umbrella and went away.

Such a colorful poem.  Sounds like a day you never wanted to end.

Well you found her and shared moments even for a while - those you can keep and treasure. Like the phrase..better to have loved and lost...etc...Maybe in another time, who knows.
