His eyes beckoned like a summer in Dallas: vast and glimmering.
Although I was calloused from an endless year of heartbreak,
Memories overcame me and my heart ached for him .
Like our first date when he arrived in his hot-shot Cadillac..
We had laughed until the stars appeared and the sun diminished.

Time and distance have now hardened our once implicit closeness.
Today, hHis unkempt sun-streaked hair blew with the subtle breeze.
I counseled myself into not holding his hand.

We were lovers merely in the summer and strangers subsequently.
I long for more time together, yet we live so distant. from another.
He nibbles on the bottom of his lip with his eyes diverting mine.
He requests me to stay.

He’s home from college, but I don’t feel closer Our .love has changed even though he is home from college.
My heart used to flutter and words escaped my mouth when he was around.


My face got tight and my vision blurred.
I had to end our relationship fast before I changed my mind.
His eyes were like a puppy’s: soft and worrisome.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I unleashed my inhibitions.
We became a flower in my hand, as I released it, it withered to the ground .
