Just for a Time

Oh how you used to walk With that insouciant smile I liked to hear you talk And your style Pleased me for a while. You were my early love New as a day breaking in Spring You were the image of Everything That caused me to sing. I don't like reminiscing Nostalgia is not my forte I don't spill tears On yesterday's years But honesty makes me say, You were a precious pearl How I loved to see you shine, You were the perfect girl. And you were mine. For a time. For a time. Just for a time.
