It came, and went...

The Third of October

Like the summer rain fall,
It came without a call.

The third of October,
With autumn leaves a-flutter,
It was a day to remember.

Like a dream from many years,
the sands of time flowed,
your voice resonates against my ears,
an echo that could not be curbed,

but fate has decided
she shall play her card,
our paths once joined,
were easily removed,
the time spent was short,
but it is a memory,
I will readily carry.

though i think of you,
only on days when the rain falls,
when the sun refuses to shine through the clouds,
a small smile will play on my face,
as the world moves slowly at my pace.

i have grown through those years,
learnt to cherish what is dear,
and i shall sit here again next year,
by the window to watch the flowers,

and think fondly again of those days,
like a child handling a precious toy,
storing it away once more,
for this time again next year.
