Sweet Memories

You were

Tall and handsome

I was

Short and shy

But we went together

Like ice cream

And apple pie

All American

Deliciousness

Life for us was good

For a time

Then it all fell apart

Without any rhyme

You went your way

And I went mine

But your memory still visits me

The passing of time unable to

Dull it’s sweetness
