an ephemeral love

you're a song i skipped

a stone i tripped over

an ash i budded

in the end, you were star studded

your eyes, green

like those topiary trees

a weeping willow i planted

bugging you til you couldn't stand it

an ephemeral love,

shorter than you

a kiss under the moon

sad it had to end so soon

lush green grass,

a flower blooming during Mass

a boy and a girl finding love

as pure as a white dove

an ugly rumor,

stuck around like a tumor

he left her for his best friend

she gave up on love like a dead end

an ephemeral love,

shorter than you

a kiss under the moon

sad it had to end so soon

left him in the past,

he was hurt at how fast

their tumultuous love ended

now their lives aren't blended

an ephemeral love,

shorter than you

a kiss under the moon

sad it had to end so soon
