It's been years 
but you must remember the lights,
hung gold orbs from that tree,
on the river bank, silent.

You must hear
the horse's cry in the night,
see us caught in half-moon waltz
too young to realise.

After all these years
I stop by the river side,
reheat the memory,
try to wish I'd 

loved you.
You, crazy for me.
Me,
passing time.

I like the sense of regret running through this and the odd memories that stay in one's mind

Cheers insert! It's a weird collection of faces and places which led to the right one in the end.

A bit of nostalgia coloured by the passing time, caught as a vivid cameo of place and attitudes. Rhiannon

Good poem!!

It does! Full of little moments that seem insignificant at the time but bigger and bigger as the days go on.

There's something in this that shows a certain lack of regret - almost wishing for some. 'try to wish I'd loved you...' The regret, if any, that being too young, you missed something that looking back now seems like a good idea.

Spot on bee. Wishing for some feeling. Wishing the emotion wasn't gone. Wondering if there really ever was any.

Wistful and haunting, full of delicious imagery.  

The second stanza outstandingly memorable.

Evocative penmanship at its best.
