...WHEN LOVE WAS NEW

by Sandra E Footman

...when love was new
stars jumped out of the sky

the carnival lights shine in my heart
people's laughter, still ring in my ears

the smell of cotton candy, tastes pink on my lips

when love was new...

I bowed my head,
you shuffled your feet

why can't I look him in the eyes

...I'm feeling faint

the stars, are so... beautiful
