Looking Back

Looking back on those summer nights
I realize
We never knew how good we had it.
Cool breeze.
Under trees.
Making memories beneath the stars.

Looking back on those summer nights
I memorize
Your face, bursting with joy in your eyes.
Laughing.
Smiling
Being who we want to be and are.

Those summer nights together.
"Let's make this one count," we said.
"Let's make this one worth a memory."
And we did.
And they were.

I can see the breeze tossing your hair.
The sparkle in your eyes,
A smile dancing about your lips.
And I remember who you are.

I can see you.
All of you.
And I think to myself--
This is life.
This is worth living for.
