My mind painted a picture
with skies of emerald blue.
My heart colored it in memories
of moments spent with you.
I saw images of sunsets
and of kisses in the rain.
Moments that we made love
and of passion I can't explain.
There were moments of laughter
and ones that nothing was said.
Pictures on a blanket in the park
and ones of us cuddled up in bed.
I looked through all of the pictures
painted in red, purple and gray.
Then I noticed...
The only moment painted in tears,
was of the day you went away.
with skies of emerald blue.
My heart colored it in memories
of moments spent with you.
I saw images of sunsets
and of kisses in the rain.
Moments that we made love
and of passion I can't explain.
There were moments of laughter
and ones that nothing was said.

and ones of us cuddled up in bed.

Then I noticed...
The only moment painted in tears,
was of the day you went away.
