I Had Forgotten
I had forgotten the excitement of seeing the first robin of spring...
I had forgotten the sweet, heavy scent of rain coming in the distance...
I had forgotten the waxy tug on my fingers of the first green leaves pushing through the ground...
I had forgotten the wonder of seeing a duck just a few feet away...
I had forgotten the cool, damp feeling of grass between my toes...
I had forgotten the spine tingling excitement of hiding during hide-n-seek...
I had forgotten, my sweet girl, until I met you.
