For The Weekend



Sad Cafe

the change of season
brings blue

summer and its promise
gone

that small box of love
a dried flower now

wrapped in tissue
put away

and life goes on

  9. I relate too well to this!
    Now that the season has changed on my love,
    I avoid the cafe where we spent so many hours
    I love the place but it makes me too sad.

  10. This is sas and reminded me of my very first broken heart. Anyone recall the Troggs?

    Last Summer
    It was a day like today when I met you
    The sun was shining down on the sea
    I held your hand and whispered softly
    You are all the world to me
    But that was last summer and I wish it was last summer now

    We strolled along the beach in the moonlight
    Throwing pebbles into the waves
    Little things like this I remember
    How I love those lazy days
    But that was last summer and I wish it was last summer now


    Funny, I can still connect with that pain even though its over 50 years ago. First love, eh. Do we ever really forget?

  11. You are such a romantic - Doddles! Fifty years ago? No we don't forget any of them:)I have never heard of the Troggs.

  12. Never heard of the Troggs???!!!

    Wild Thing
    I Can't Control Myself
    Love is All Around
    Night of the Long Grass

    These tunes corrupted a generation of British young women. I know this because I was there and took full advantage!

  13. Well, actually, I was 13 years old - so it was 47 years ago if we must be precise. 'Twas poetic licence!
