An Echo in the Wind

Its been 15 years
And I can still hear those words
I still remember the very day
The sun was not quite red, but not quite orange
The little children running around chasing a ball
The little ducklings escaping the grasps of two year old monsters
We sat oblivious to it all
Telling stories under that tree
That tree is long gone now
But I remember it
It was tall with branched branching out from everywhere
The green leaves as old as the dinosaurs two miles beneath our feet
We told stories and ate strawberries
Wishing the day wouldn't end
Because we would have to return to our lives at school
And all of a sudden, your eyes changed
You grabbed my hand
And you started to sweat
How adorable you looked all nervous!
"I love you" is what you said
We sat under that tree until the stars shone bright
Titled heads, and intertwined hands
Nope, I'll never forget
Even if it is just an echo in the wind by now
