Do you think of the day at the beach,
when all our dreams seemed within our reach?
Planning our future, hand in hand,
writing "love you forever" in the sand.
Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday we were like this.
Do you ever think of cherry Kool-Aid,
ice cold,refreshing, tenderly made?
Our never ending conversations,
as we gazed up at the contsellations?
Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday we were like this.
Football games with my sons in the field,
no longer a young man, your pain concealed.
Loving memories created by our hearts,
where one ended, the other then starts.
Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday we were like this
Your departure replayed in my mind,
were we too stuborn or just too blind?
Love remembered, the rise and the fall.
Where did it go, how did we lose it all?
Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday we were like this.
Remembering the tears that fell from our eyes,
not asking you to stay, began our demise.
Dreams of forever became mere memories,
carried away on a summers breeze.
Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday, we were like this.

The repetitive lines of Endless days of summer, our first kiss,
seems like yesterday, we were like this- so beautifully sad, this would make an amazing song. Your depth shines through in every word you write. Take care, love James & Jeannie

This is so sad, but beautifully penned and with wonderful rhyme.
You have really put alot into this and I commend you for it. Keep up the excellent work.

Great
A very romantic and passionate poem well constructed and rhymed brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat.I LOVED IT -
Beautifully delivered dear one, so much of life that has passed us by leave holes in places that cannot be seen, but are felt and revisited to wonder if. Times of peace, times of strife, all on lease, in our life.

wow
That was a very deep poem, like looking through the looking glass at someone elses life. Which it was! The repetiveness of endless days of summer left me with hope, like seeing a rainbow, even though you know it's your tears that have caused it. Well done and don't evet stop, for when we do we give in. And you have far too much going for you for that.

How often do we think of a lost love and wonder if they ever think about us? I think we all do...I love your poem and I admit I was thinking specifically about someone from my past, as I read it. You have brought back fond memories throught the eyes of an angel. thankyou

Beautifully sad and melancholy, I loved the repetition of the lines here it is a great counterpoint to the rest of it...Scott

very nice
your poem remind me of a song of Joe Dassin (French)
such a touching work.
you hav a deep soul and a kind heart of a lover -
Oh such heartfelt memories penned here, reminds me of my summers...the first date I had was to a summer drive-in, ohhh I can remeber being so nervous, I think thats the only time, a guy has evr kissed my hand....awwwwww...such a tender piece here
-
Especially the first part of this reminds me of one of my best friends from my summers as a preteen, and the first boy I kissed. He was so sweet, so adorable, I MISS HIM!
And the rest, I've been there and felt that too. I was with someone once, quite possibly the love of my life, and I let him go....ah, long story, but sometimes I wish he would not have given up so easily, he didn't even try...just...
Well, anyway, my heart has dropped reading this, it's beautiful, effective and so filled with all the right things...
