The vision of her blue dress and the lingering ghost of her perfume is all that remains
As she walks away
Her soft kiss still rests upon my lips as the cool breezes carries the cottonwood blossoms falling around me like snow
As she walks away
Visions of endless sunsets we’ll never walk under and countless sunrises we’ll never wake to fade quickly
As she walks away
One time
One life
For her to see herself from my eyes
How she rests upon my heart
And joins with my soul
A dream never dreamed
A love waiting to bloom
Such the cottonwood blossoms
As she walks away from me
Cruel that fate has left us broken and afraid
Cruel are the gods who mark us with Cupid’s arrow
Knowing that it’s mark is met
Knowing the pain is too deep
As she walks away she turns to smile
Her tiny blue dress flowing in the wind
Surrounded with the cottonwood that resembles snow
She blows me a kiss
A small gesture of hope and of love
As she walks away…
