cherished innocence

a romantic beauty to the way she looked
a sweet cherished innocence to her
and i was moved in ways that changed me
i was a different man in her delicate hands
spent that summer chasing rainbows at her side
fishing for lovely stars in the milky way at night
and puddle surfing in sweet summer rain on lazy afternoons
one moment out of our lives shared
that we thought would last forever
and in my heart it will
