Quiet Streets

I think its the green that I miss most
That rich vine stuck to the post.1

That every car could not knock down
And that a drought could never brown.2

Now these streets are silent, chill
I'm sure that vine is rich green still.3

I know why you left, so long ago
A silent walk through the snow.4

I walked with you every day
In this way you do repay?5

I loved you true
You loved me too
But that was not enough for you6

You needed more
Then green and snow
You needed someone else to know7

How great you are
How talented
The money that's the man you wed.8

You left the vine and me behind
When I didn't see you i was blind9

I noticed the beautiful flowered tree
That stood behind where you met me.10

You stood right there everytime
Across from me and my green vine.11

Now all the streets are completely still
The sky is raining down it's fill12

I've left that place and all it's snow,
For a place where the traffic's slow.13

Every now and then I find
Myself back there with my green vine.14

And I sit down and think and talk,
My dreams are known to that green stalk.15

But here I stand in front of it,
And the dust this vine has bit.16

I cry for hours and wish it back
But then I notice one thing I lack.17

The constant presence of your memory,
It's gone, with the vine, and I feel free.

    Woah. This piece was really deep. I think you're supposed to capitalize the first letter of every line, though, whether it's a new sentence or not.
