The Love We Used To Make

The scent of spring, lingered in the air,
I knew…somehow,
That I would find you there.
I found love, so elusive, by the lake
Where jasmine bloomed…
Only for beautys sake.
On summer nights, I have called your name!
I wished for you
Then one night you came.
Spring…so glorious, even in the midnight hour,
More colourful
With each September shower.
The scent of jasmine, moonlight on the lake…
...Reminding me
Of the love we used to make.
