A fleeting smile, a passing wave
Your stay was ephemeral but forever it will resonate
Rippling through my heart
Flowing through my soul
Like the sunshine rejuvenating
Everything in its way
Trickling through the trees
Hitting the soft grass
Your steadfast gaze
I never really stood a chance
Parting of the seas
God willed it so
For who knows which gifts
Tomorrow will bear
I must let go
If we meet again
The storm had simply been passing
If we do not
You will have been etched
Forever in my memory
