Whispers of Romance

Embossed

-By Christine Murrain

I was caught off guard

And so I didn’t mean to stare

But my finger is still embossed

By the ring I used to wear

Everything reminds me of the life

We happily used to share

And I wonder each day

If there’s a chance you might still care

My memory of you is still strong

From your touch, to the scent of your hair

And I’d ask you to return,

But I know it wouldn’t be fair

You deserve more and

I hope you’re treated well over there

And I never meant to hurt you,

I swear.
