Description
Rain falls softly on my windshield

As if to warn me of Autumn's imminent arrival

And James Taylor croons his "greatest hits"

Quietly out my stereo.

Your face raises, again,

Unbidden into my memory.

A reminder of when times were simpler.

I am happy now,

As I never truly was in our short time together,

But the gloom of impending storm

Brings up my sentimentality

And I wonder what might have been.

I loved you,

Though I never had the courage to tell you,

Despite the fact that our relationship

Was little more than an extended

One-night stand.

I wonder if you knew.

I wonder if you think of me.

Does a song ever bring back hidden memories

Of dancing to Miles Davis,

Of sitting in a garden in the rain,

Of laughter, of rolling in the grass?

Do you see a girl walking

And wonder briefly if it's me?

I've moved on,

I've found a new love,

I imagine so have you.

But still, on some brief occasions,

My mind drifts off to Carolina

And what could have been.
