Beneath the trees ....
I held your hand
The path before us straight,
Sun dappled,
Seemed unending.
Beneath the trees ....
We walked,
Thoughts and fingers
Intertwined,
Step matched to step.
Beneath the trees ....
We spoke
Our shared dreams,
And whispered promises.
Beneath the trees ....
Your fingers slipped my grasp.
As the path turned to shadow
I walked a pace behind.
Beneath the trees ....
I followed
As darkness fell between us
Our thoughts unspoken
In the silence
Beneath the trees ....
