You & Me
October 8, 2009
I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.
You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.
You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.
You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

I like the fact you choose a meaningful and relatable topic. I like your grammar and the words you choose to use. I think you could change the last phrase so it isn't so much repetition.
