Bittersweet Awakening

 

Unexpected rain

Welcomed by the arid earth

You wafted into my life

Like a breath of fresh air after the cooling summer rains

 

As unexpectedly as you came

You stirred up forgotten flames

Burning passions I'd thought were long extinguished or at the least only dwindling embers

 

But alas nothing is built to last in this life

You went as swiftly as you came

Like unexpected rain

 

Leaving a cold distance

And fleeting memories

Loves bittersweet symphony...
