We were young

We were young, what we had was pure, free, true. Passion ran through our veins. We didn't know sorrow and the sweet summer scent was forever imprinted in our brain. Our hands weaved together as we slept by the sea side, the quite rolling of waves our lullaby and the light sea breeze whistled a familiar tune into our ears. You whispered " I love you, forever" I replied "forever". Our forever didn't last. You moved away after that summer leaving me alone to face the merciless winter. But you said forever, you lied, so did I. Time passed and our memory of each other withered only a faint outline of your face still lingers in my memory and I drift into that summer wondering your name, trying to remember the sweet sensation of our kisses, how my skin burned up from your touch how our hands entangled, how much I suffered after you left, how numb the pain was now, how we promised each other to love each other forever. But after all we were young, we didn't know any better.
