the last summer

an open window

the light shines in

I look at the stars

and think of you

as the moon creeps in

past the thin glass

brightening the dark

and filling up the room

a warm cup of coffie

in my freezing hands,

so pale against the moonlight

and the sky full of stars

I take a small sip of coffee

and then another

thinking of you

and what could have happened

The possibilities

of you and me together

spending our lives intertwined

both hearts beating as one

for so much longer

then just that one summer

when you promised me

that this will last forever

So I look at the moonlight

and suddenly shiver

as the cold wind wraps around me

and again, I quiver

And as the time passes

moving relentlessly forward,

I stare at the clock

watching the hand of it twitch

Slowly moving past midnight

and leaving today behind...

So I close the window

and head to bed

Wrapping myself around

a different body, a different heart

he now keeps warm at night

and brings me hope

for a better tomorrow

from the one you promised

and never made true

my summer romance

that ended with the last ray of sun
