Summer In September

by Erica   Oct 14, 2005


I remember the first time we met
But little did I know
How hard it would turn out to be
To have to let you go

Sitting out in the summer shade
With my feet up on your knees
And for the first time in forever
Someone saw me for me

You showed me what love was
You taught me how to feel
It was going to be beautiful
It was going to be real

But one night all that changed
Even your voice over the phone
You left me broken in the agony
Of an endless dial tone

In the moment of one heartbeat
And in the beauty of my fall
You broke apart your promises
My heart, my love. my all

Boy, you should have been there
To see the look upon my face
When I heard about the girl
Who had come to take my place

You may try and forget
But I'll always remember
How beautiful the world can be
When its summer in September

    Awwwww, that's a VERY GOOD poem! So sweet... and sad... :( I'm sorry. Guys can be mean sometimes. I hope you find a man some day that will love you forever and a day! I really loved this poem, hun! My favorite stanza was:

    "But one night all that changed
    Even your voice over the phone
    You left me broken in the agony
    Of an endless dial tone"

    It was very good! You are a wonderful poet! Keep up the great writing! I look forward to reading more of your work!

    Love always,
