Once Upon a Summer

Once Upon a Summer

A Poem by ❀ Gabriela ❀
"

Once upon a summer day, I dreamed a dream of you...

"

 

Once upon a summer day

 

When it was you and I,

 

We would lay down on the grass

 

And watch the clouds go by.

 

 

We'd sit beneath the apple tree

 

And picnic in the shade.

 

Together, we'd laugh endlessly

 

Over silly things we said.

 

 

We'd meet outside on starlit nights

 

And chase after fireflies,

 

Then I would sit and watch the stars  

 

With you there, by my side.

 

 

But summer came, and summer left

 

And somehow, we moved on.

 

And just like all those summer days,

 

I know that you're long gone.

 

 

But though we've long since parted ways

 

And though you said goodbye,

 

I still look back on those summer days

 

When it was you and I.

 

 

Now I lie down upon the grass

 

Like we both used to do.

 

 

 

Once upon a summer day

 

 

I dreamed a dream of you.

Oh yes, this brings back such vivid memories for me when I was young, so many years ago now.
I laid in tall grass with my first love. Ahrrr. I had a little shiver.
A beautiful simple poem that invokes such deep memories in many people I'm sure.
This is going in my Library. definitely one to remember.
