Ache..

As I watch you cross the road

Walk past the old departmental stores

Disappear around the alleyway

Off to bright but distant shores

My heart aches!

The minutes turn into hours and days

I remember you skipping around the lake

Your hair, then undone, while I gaze

 I didn’t know what was at stake

And now my heart aches!

The gifts you got me that humid afternoon

A torch, cells, nails, and candies from dinner last night

I didn’t realise time will fly so soon

My treasure box already feels so light

And so my heart aches!
