"As a cold autumn wind blows,
Crispy,dry leaves dance across the dusty, old streets creating a spectacular little show.
Freshly baked bread creates a sweet aroma as it travels from nose to nose,drawing passers-by to the newly-painted,little shop down the road.
Little children skip and hop about like happy little toads.
Flowers on the sidewalk stick their heads up a bit higher to absorb the remaining sunlight.
A little,old couple converse;lost in each other's eyes knowing that together they have climbed great heights.
A soft melody drifts through the old fir trees.
Little ripples form over the lake's crystal clear surface as I began to run my fingers over it; suddenly my attention was seized.
There he stood,he looked the same way as I remember him and will always remember him.
Sun rays illuminated his drop-dead gorgeous face as he stooped to take off his shoes to go in for a swim.
His gentle curls bounced with life as he shook his head vigorously;droplets of water fleeing in different directions.
His eyes ignited and he gave a little smile as he saw some parrots passing;on his face laid such a beautiful expression.
As he stared off into the distance,I had the opportunity to study his deep,chocolate brown eyes.
His once warm eyes were now replaced with shallow,dull ones.
Though still very beautiful,I didn't have to stare into them twice to know the amount of pain that he was going through.
I felt his sadness as a gentle breeze blew.
His tired eyes drifted longingly towards the sky.
After a moment he exhaled as he continued to watch the clouds roll by.
I tried reaching out for him,
But I knew that his chances of seeing me were so slim.
I was so near yet so far away from him, if only he knew.
How much I loved him,if only he had a clue.
Even if we were worlds apart,
It has only been him,right from the start.
The soft melody once more returned and as it floated our way,
I too drifted away."
