Reminded by a cup of peppermint tea

Yesterday from the tinge of peppermint

Felt tasteful un my tongue durn' warm ev'ning,

Again my heart fell again in grieving.

The cup of tea reminded me of you.

In dismay I put it down gingerly,

As not to drop it when my heart has broke

Thinking about that email I once wrote.

Then more and more now I remember you.

The last of May to the wake of of July,

An early summer filled by dancing joy

Begun a time when my heart had been coy

And leaving part when I'm no longer shy.

'Tis something I could only dream of then,

But I never stopped to ask what is love.
