Love

 I measure all of time 

to the moments that I had

once shared with you,

when skies took on a shade

of royal blue. 

The chapter was written

and the pages have all been turned,

there is no looking back at tomorrow

or at the love for which I have yearned.

The final quarter of the game 

it is where the end nears, 

I spent years in hopes 

that the love would fall upon

your ears.
