A quick but happy dream

One that never ends

A never ending story

One that doesn’t fill a trend

 

Soft kisses in the middle of June

With heat that melts

So easy to escape it

With a love you built

 

Rain in the middle of December

So unreliable it seems

But a smile will find you

Under swaying trees with a hopeless lean

 

A midnight sky in late July

Full of dreams you just can’t find

A memory to repeat itself

But there is no time

 

It’s been months and days

Years and hours

Without a single touch to remember

Only meaningless flowers

wow. it's heartbreaking and moving, this verse. it captures so beautifully the unexpected bliss of tender moments; almost mere coincidences in terms of their timing. the delicate word choice is extremely touching - "soft kisses in the middle of June", "rain in the middle of December", "a midnight sky in late July" - spectacular!!
the last stanza is overwhelming - a somber statement - "without a single touch to remember, only meaningless flowers" - it seems to touch the rawest parts of the pain of loss in the most simple and subtle manner.
beautiful, moving, overwhelming, tender, delicate and very touching! it's an exquisite write.
ps: the rhyme works in most places. you do mention you wrote it quickly - that makes it even more amazing! :)
