Remembering Poem by Edmund Calleja

Do you remember the summer nights,
Those endless evenings of our Love
When you and I held our hands
And shared the longings of our eyes,
When I kissed your tender hands
As they cupped my loving smiles.

Do you remember the dreams we dreamt
As our lips came close, but never met,
When your heartfelt sighs sought refuge
As they rested on my shoulders,
Concealing tears and emotions
Flowing freely down your cheeks.

Do you remember the carresses,
As my embracing arms drew
You nearer to my heart,
And then held you ever so tight
That you sobbed and even wept,
As I wiped your tears away.

Do you remember our first kiss,
And the moonlit night rejoicing
As it showered us with bliss, fully knowing,
It was but an Indian Summer.

Do you remember how we closed our eyes
And lay cuddled there together,
And how we wished then more than ever
We could have lingered there forever.
