You were new to me in every way, E
Like a single stray sunbeam you shone
Our time together was a speeding train
And now suddenly you are gone
Your laugh was infectious when you were at play
Now your sense of fun has been snatched away.
You were gone as quickly as you came my dear
Touching me briefly like a Butterfly’s kiss
We discovered each other in less than a year
For just weeks we shared our bliss
The scent of you lingers close even now, E
It freshens like a flower touched by summer rain.
You are still near to me, dear to me, Elaine
You still shine down on my lonely days
If I could just look on your face again
Discover you once more in so many ways
Your presence is still heavy deep in my heart
Elaine,my love I still don’t feel we are apart.
