And Maybe Would Still Love Her Poem by Uriah Hamilton

And Maybe Would Still Love Her

Rating: 5.0


Twisting dirt roads summertime south
In the birdsong youth of yesterday
When as a boy I had joyous dreams
Of a magical girl
And sauntered the ice-cream side-streets of innocence
Holding her hand in mine;
Endless promises were made
Spoken with love beneath apple trees
With words that sounded something like marriage and family and eternity.
There were long afternoons that seemed forever before they disappeared
Into some wistful memory that I mingle
In an evening glass of wine.
I tell myself I don’t miss her but I do
And maybe would still love her
If I found her again in a different world.

Wonderful images on, the musings of the what-if loves, which may have left, or left behind? Danny

Wonderfully dreamy romance from you here Uriah! I have come to expect nothing less. Yes! Maybe we all would, if only we could! Smiling at you, Tai
