On feet of cat silent at night,

These thoughts of mine escape the light.

Moments remembered of distant youth,

Bliss and sadness entwined in truth.

A boy so young and searching for love,

Her eyes found his like a light from above.

The days and nights he spent loving her,

He thought she loved him but now not so sure.

True love doesn’t stop by closing a door,

It ebbs and it fades while searching for more.

Memories remain only cherished by one,

It hurts when you learn that she had none.

All hopes and dreams of a boy left to waste,

All left behind and abandoned in haste.

Once shiny and bright their love burned so hot,

Now lays in dust like broken toys forgot.

It seems only he kept his memories of her,

While everything him to her was a blur.

Now boy to man he has come to realize,

That from that place where he once found her eyes,

Started his memories of her long ago,

And like she did hers,

It’s now time he let go.
