I felt your face in my hands,
Your green eyes dazzling in their dance,
I felt the smiles you put on with ease,
A quirk of your lips, no more than a tease.
I felt the dreams where I held you,
The grass around us collecting dew,
I felt the need of your touch,
and trembled at the slightest brush.
I feel you now when I smell spring,
This scent that makes it hard to breathe,
I feel you when leaves fall to the ground,
Leaving a mosaic of greens turned brown.
I feel you now when I try to sleep,
See you, hold you, in my dreams,
I feel you now as I try to write,
Putting you in blue and white.
I felt you then, and you didn't know,
I held your love, and I let you go.

I think that's pretty funny that the first ....or second rather contest that you enter and actually follow the rules of, wins you a trophy.

the line about the scent in the air making it hard to breathe -
This is very pretty. Congratulations on the bronze. It's always a pleasure to stumble across a rhymed poem by an unfamiliar name.
Keep writing.
