Stop
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I looked at the horizon as it opened its secret.
Your eyes were inside smiling at me.
I knew I loved you like I knew the sun.
And you loved me too, at least on day one.
Our eyes locked and our horizons were set
Its been 16 years since we laid our bet.
After all this time its easy to forget how many horizons have rose and lit up our souls as we held hands together.
How many kisses we have had or missed because of bad blood and unfinished arguments.
A sad statement its true, but maybe next time round those few will one day be found.
Like premenopausal promises.
