Just A Girl

Shadows swirl before my eyes
Voices whisper, soft replies
A summons... can't resist.
Slowly forming silhouette
Ghostly past that haunts me yet
Her presence in thin mist.
A silent beckoning to me
This spirit simply known as "she"
Will steal my breath away.
Spectral ivory hands imbue
Dawning sense of deja vu
Where time has gone astray.
Trembling fingertips unite
Sparks like fireflies take flight
A luminescent show.
Lights dance across the moonlit sky
While stars gaze down on she and I
Bathed in an eerie glow.
Captured in a bright moonbeam
No longer is she smoke and dream
Her countenance revealed.
Auburn hair with emerald eyes
Chiseled features mesmerize
Past wound no longer healed.
My angel in this love scene cast
Returns to me from distant past
Where memories hold sway.
For one moment trapped in time
Caught inside a wish and I'm...
Reliving yesterday.
When love was life's great mystery
One could believe in destiny
Sweet memories were made.
Swirling mist, chaste kiss good-bye
An echo of a timeless sigh
Again, I watch her fade.

As I awake from slumber deep
The dream I dreamed last night I'll keep
A youthful memory.
She's just a girl I used to know
One hundred million years ago
Who didn't no.. tice me

Lovely, gentle and dreamlike.
This spirit known as "she". Loved that line.
Those quiet moments of reflection and remembrance lead us often to people who dug in deep, somehow. I liked it.

Thank you, Ana Sophia. I went back a long way for this one. First love, where the " love at first sight " was only one sided. Still makes for a good story.

[Matching Socks]

Makes for a good story... I agree. :)

[Diane]
