What Could You Say

Sitting side by side on a mellow summers day
While clouds of Blue butterflies keep hovering away
To ride sunflowers in hidden bowers.

What would you say...
What could you say...

Words would float away, on a cool summer breeze
That seems to blow for just you and me

You smile and the years just melt away
What could you possibly say to me?

Time's already stopped, and as the sky clouds over
Tiny raindrops fall to wash away your tears
For We have nothing to fear....

Reminds me of a time I spent with someone close to me, just before she moved away...James

This is very touching. It's as though their eyes, touch and the scenery says it all. I especially like when she smiles the years melt away. Probably partly due to my old age. Very nice piece of work.

Walter Mitty, thank you for sharing a poignant and memorable moment of your "Secret Life".

I found the following lines especially beautiful ~

"Sitting side by side on a mellow summers day
While clouds of Blue butterflies keep hovering away
To ride sunflowers in hidden bowers."

So vividly descriptive!

Thank you Rae, RevengeIsMine, for your kind words!

James, probably because I had the same thing happen to me.

Earth Angel, well, you caught me... remember "ta-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa"?
