Green eyes

Would we have been friends, you and I?

If history was different would we see eye to eye?

Mum always said you were smart, fun, and witty

And that your piercing green eyes were so amazingly pretty.

When you left us life changed for all the wrong reasons

So much time has passed by, many hours days and seasons

When the day is quiet and distractions are few

I squeeze my eyes shut and try to remember you

What were you like, who were you really?

A part of my past that I still love so dearly.

I have daughters now, their eyes, also green

But not like yours; so shiny, vibrant and keen

Lets catch up and compare notes, me and you

When we next meet, and your eyes shine anew.
