can't forget April 7, 2014

  

it is impossible to forget

 the first day or even hours

when we first met

an inconsequential event

 it seemed back then

 more significant as time went on

coming as all of the others had

 a new face to pick up where

the old face left off

 perhaps carrying on her shoulders

A world I did not know about

 and in her pockets a wealth of talent

 I would come to envy

Fall always bringing the changes

people expect from spring

seasons shifting now

with spring here again

 a revival of that which

 I first thought and later desperately hoped for

she moves on again

a lost sheep looking

for a new flock to take refuge with

I cannot forget that first time

not even the last

though all in between is

 as vague as a fog

things of significance

poking out here and there

 some particularly painful

and yet not all
