Lifetime

Original Title : Golden Hour and The Summer That Lasted a Lifetime Part 3 : Lifetime White light—blinding, endless white A dreamlike summer I still remember Felt so long, it probably was Just a summer, that lasted a lifetime Months after months, a quiet year Without that summer, with memories of her Another one will come, but who’s waiting for me there? A still lighthouse, in that golden hour Each step a lifetime, then two, maybe three We made a vow—to give her eternity On that summer, one we never grow out of Her smiles were the brightest, her tears the most dear On this summer, a door yet opened The sound of the sea, the song of the cicadas In front of the familiar door, under its gentle shadow For that summer that lasted a lifetime, under the golden glow I opened the door to our memories, once more Wishing for your very missed smiles And a soft “welcome back”
