The sunset has faded once more,
Gone are its radiant hues
That warmed the end of my day.
The darkness of night envelopes me.
The air is still,
the quietness of evening deafening.

I sit and ponder the past and question the future.
Memories…. thoughts, flooding my mind.
Just like a pond when a stone is cast upon it,
So are the rippling effects
borne by my heart and soul.

The innocence of a child’s daydreams
Now are transformed into a woman’s world of reality.
For so long I guarded my thoughts and feelings
Keeping them locked behind closed doors,
Allowing no one in.

You entered my world and became part of it.
I learned to trust someone as would a child,
And in doing so…
I gave you the mystical key
That unlocked the private depths of my soul…
Secured in a vault for so long.

Fantasies became reality,
Untapped passions unbridled.
A tenderness and gentleness I’d never known
You warmed and comforted me….
Made me believe once again
Finally I knew what it meant to be a woman.

With the dawn and twilight of each new day
I am reminded of the warmth,
The unique closeness we share.
The stars of evening, sparkling like jewels,
Represent the memories I cherish.
The friendship and unique intimacy remains,
its future undaunted.
Love remains....
Moments we cherish…….
