Image: I swear it was you! (here)
Sheltered under the red parasol
Wisps of your hair caught the wind
Lined them across my face
Amid soft giggles from you
Gave me a jolt to find you gone
Sweet memories a constant companion now
Shadow of you but I see in everything
(44 words)
Note: Shared an umbrella
in a slight drizzle and her
long tresses were flailing
in the soft breeze
