summer romance

it was the absence of you
that multiplied my love for you
in thousand manifolds.

it was those sweet lies
mixed  with your sweet gestures
that vouched my love for you
time and again'

it was the way you made me feel'
even if it was for a brief while
that could last for a million miles.

it was the memory you bequeathed
that would linger with me
and bring out the best in me.

it was the absence of your presence
that made  my heart grow fonder
for a love that was once so pure
