I Loved a Girl Once

I loved a girl once
who I couldn't keep.

I held her through the seasons,
hoping, believing,

but she was as much mine as the
rain that falls from the

clouds over the high desert
in July, disappearing

long before
it can make the brown

earth any less dry
or quench

any thirst.
