AT THE PARK AGAIN

I wait in the park at
the spot where we used to meet
I stand there anxious and nervous,
waiting.And then there you are.

The smiles and dreamy eyes
leave the small talk fading away
and suddenly you're in my arms
and I'm kissing you.

I feel as happy as I ever was
so long ago
and it is more than memories,
I'm falling in love with you all over again.

And you stand there lost in bliss,
so caught in the moment,
and this love and passion
leaves us breathless and swooning.

The ecstasy of being together
spins us enraptured and
nothing else matters, there is nothing else,
but all too soon, you must leave for now.

After you are gone,
I stand there for awhile,
smiling with tears in my eyes.

And I know
this can only
end badly.
