Anal Retentive English

...............

Okay, since we've now finished English, I suppose that gives me an excuse to get all my old stuff like drafts for Creative Writing out the way and on here. First off, something kinda depressing, but there you go.

Some Time Ago
By Gordon Strachan

Trying to remember the colour
Of her Eyes
It's been so long
So long.

Were they blue
Or had they been green?
I was once proud,
Happy moments
When I could remember
So long ago now
So long ago

You fell asleep there
On your bed
eyes closed, but for a faint
Flicker
The gentle pulse of your heart
Echoing through me
Echoing through me
It's been a while now
Since you closed your eyes
Can't see them anymore
The pulse has faded
Blue?
Green?

How long will it be
Before I lose this memory
Of your smile while you slept?
So long ago
So long

I should say goodbye now
To save any more aching
I must let you go now
My mind, it's slipping
You will se me one day again
Yes, with those green eyes!

So long, my love
So long
