The stars were shining too brightly
And the sky was much too lovely
It's not my fault there was a breeze
carrying the sweet scent of lillies.
You see, I'm only human
I could not control that sunset
Truly it was the most beautiful ever seen
My eyes were blinded by twilight.
And then he turned to face me
And then our lips embraced
How gentle the momment was
So sweet and secret.
Never have I been so in love
His gaze burned into my eyes.
Were those tears I saw?
And so I had to let him
Do what he so wanted.
Because the grass was so soft on my toes.
My emotions overbearing.
I hope you can understand
That it wasn't my fault, or his
The only fault was of the sky
For never should anything be so fair
I don't regret a single thing
Please realize this
Now my end is coming near
Don't think I haven't pondered.
I would never go back and change what I did
I'm grateful to have had
A glimpse of something utterly pure
A momment in heaven.

Thank you Alwye , I don't get to come here often now with school and all.

Piggy-I wrote this poem for a good friend of mine who died of AIDS which she got from her boyfriend. While she was dying, she told me she had "no regrets", and then she said "Jackie, I know someday you'll be a poet, please, write of my story, won't you?" So I did my best, and this is it.
