A stranger, unannounced, gives the gift of hope accompanied by a bright smile. His outstretched hand caresses the weeping willow. The warm embrace of chocolate kisses compliment romantic poetry with purple forget-me-nots. We walk along the lake as a cool breeze blows short pieces of hair across my face. He sings a song of laughter interweaving my melody with his harmony. I dream of such sweets lasting forever as the winds blow a cloud over these rays of hope and a gentle kiss on the forehead signals a short good-bye. A teardrop drizzles down an overcast day as my lonely melodic tune blows through the trees. There begins a famine of hope on this barren heart aching for companionship. Rainbows vanish at the blink of an eye, and then it rains on shriveled sunflowers and trampled weeds. So I softly whisper: If only for a brief moment, I thank you for noticing me.
Reason for writing:
This is a memory that is very special to me and will remain in my heart forever.
Birth sign: Taurus
