To think again of what could have been; Those painfully painless imaginative dreams of cloudless days with winds whispering love's scent through new spring clover, of walking barefoot through the glistening cool of morning dew, listening endlessly to the song of your laugh. If this is all I will have of you, I shall know no grief. Saudade Poetry Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh 02/20/2019

Lovely and evocative of wonderful youthful feelings in days gone by that are imprinted indelibly on our hearts and minds. There are some things and some people we never forget, especially our first love.

oh my gosh, you did this so wonderfully. I was all stressed how to write about a portugese lover. You just wrote a simple love poem and blew it out of the water!!
