Summer Reverie

Oh, the tender moments that I chanced
to spend with you
The sweetness of long quiet afternoons
These are the treasures that I've
carried with me through my years
A heart near full to bursting with
these memories of you

I recall how we would wile away those
sultry summer days
filling them with loving, just we two
Such gifts of love, they say, are oft times
wasted on the young
Yet you and I, we understood the truth
and treasured all the
wealth of summer days

I have no trouble drifting back within
my memory
to summer days spent lazily with you
In reverie I slip the bonds
of melancholy here
Like yesterday the memories appear
the lovely sultry days of yesteryear
