Return to: Losing LoveWhat the Moonlight Said A full smile is what I offered you tonight. I presented my best face; puffed cheeks full with wishes and dreams big as an autumn night. You sat in my light and cried for memories too late to change, too soon to abandon. I give dreams for now, wishes for tomorrow, but they are all lost in your too early winter. Let my new face witness not your sorrow; I am golden full for lovers and will not stay to watch you struggle in this mourning. Shirley Alexander © 2009
