Paris dreams

How I miss
Those carefree days
Spent wandering through
Sweet autumn's haze
Leaves that crunch
Beneath our feet
A passing glance
Along each street
Time to sit
And sip, and stay
A while to dream
At each cafe
And hand in hand
We lovers pass
Sustained by hope
That this will last
Now as street lamps
Begin to glow
We whisper close
Share all we know
Until, at last
Day blesses night
As love outshines
This city of light
