WINTER COLD.

LOST LOVE

Maybe you should

have said yes

 

years before

when the first kiss

 

had landed

and her eyes

 

were bright

as new coins

 

but no you

had to wait

 

until she’d met

someone else

 

and her heart

was no longer

 

yours to have

and hold

 

just that

late night

 

and the final wave

and the winter cold.
