Premonition

What words must I say
To gain your time of day
I’ve dreamt of it many nights
We kiss under New Year lights
Months pass with happiness
And our guards show less and less
I see your eyes and your smile
Our time in the sun lasts a while
Then during one sunny afternoon
I am rejected for asking too soon
Our light begins to flicker and dim
We never address the problem
Soon the winter brings the cold
And we become every love story told
