Near golden sunsets

I'm desperate to look back
and hear the words I used to know.
Fear, no, sadness... not quite that;
those words are strangers now.

Letters, then lines, then feelings
described and defined and defended
these names that before here meant
I was lost in the waves...
but then there was blue.

I miss you.

When it comes down to that all you can do is convince you are better off without her.

Nicely penned...I think we all have moments when we look back and miss the way things used to be. I think that can be a good thing, as long as we don't keep looking backward and forget to live in the now and make new memories Thank you for sharing ~ Alana
