Summer

I watched you chase the shadows out to sea
while we played in borrowed time
against the odds we felt the summer sun
in those hazy days we thought we had won
the prize of life
of love
I heard your laughter trip across the waves
and dared to dream the impossible
unable to face the inevitable
saying goodbye
but it came anyway
so now I treasure those summer days
precious and free
when I held you
and you loved me.
