This poem was written about a year ago for a friend of mine who was having some problems.
It's been two long months since we last talked While we, across the campus, walked And saw the stories that had been chalked On the paths where we wandered that day
It's been two long months since you said to me "Sometimes I wonder what I was meant to be And if life is only what I've come to see On the faces that I see every day"
Remember how I then answered you "Life can be hard, this much is true But life could be great, with someone like you To share the journey, day-by-day"
You told me of love, life and your dream Of a wedding with fireflies lighting the scene A time that was simple, a future serene And an adventure each blessed day
We sat and we spoke until the sun grew old The wind grew fierce and the air grew cold And not for the world would I have sold Our time spent together that day
Two long months, yet I still remember That cold, windy day back in late September When the world was a flame and we, just an ember I always think back to that day
