I'LL STILL HAVE THIS CHESHIRE GRIN

Just a diddy for those who still have a Cheshire grin

The climate now is changing.

Summer seems to have turned to fall.

Winds that blew hot with passion

Now no longer seem to blow at all

 

There is frost upon the pumpkin.

And it's only mid July.

Think what we thought was love

Were the wrong words to apply.

 

Seems when we made love,

In the day or even night.

Feelings stirred inside us

Theres something just not right.

 

Maybe just be friends now

Is what we're supposed do.

Saying that it is easy

But in practice it's untrue.

Maybe in few months

Or maybe even more

After we've gone our seperate ways

We can try to open up that door.

Can't say we don't care

Or that we didn't try.

Just that something happened

Our love it slowly died.

May have been the distance

Or maybe things we didn't say.

We just no longer had the magic

It just faded right away.

Both tried to cling

To something in the past.

Not one but the two of us

Knew It wouldn't last.

Now a Cresent moon is rising

Slightly hidden by a tree.

See it rather different now

It's not like it used to be.

When the sun rises in morning

A new day will be ushered in.

Though I'll be without you

I'll still have this Cheshire grin.

To maintain that smile even though life boils over is not easy! This is beautifully written love, as always! xx

[Toni Cosoleto Bonetti]

I loved it Donald .... I can also relate to your writing style ... and do I detect a romantic in there?? ;)

[Kat Collins]

Cheshire grin...looking like the cat that ate the canary...simply sweet prose with a delightful twist of remembering with a twisted smile. It's not always easy to walk away and just be friends, but sometimes it's better to be friends than nothing at all.

[Donna Lorenz]
