The boy and the girl!

By Aladdin Qatawneh

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The book of life is brief; my dear And the world lost its glory And nothing alive in me; my dear And tears within my story Do you remember when you love me? Before the wind took you away! Do you remember the smile within me? Before the wind took it away! Do you remember the boy and the girl? And the almond tree and kisses and dreams! Do you remember the boy and the girl? And you and me and dreams! The book of life is brief; my dear And today I woke up with a tear And I wondered where is love and smiling spring? And where! You and me!
