Two months ago? when?

it was a lovely evening
say what?
an evening you say?
could that be that I missed it
dissolved it 
in my sunset gold whiskey
and drank it all away
you sat there watching?
you didn't tell me 
the light was fading,
why didn't you 
The ice melt gently 
but you made my time melt
into a puddle of astonishment
and I have nothing to show now
for that day, except now
I have this revelation
that will be a reminder 
that harrows, curls, and hurts
what evening?
when? 

Alternate version

why 
why didn't you 
As the ice 
melt gently 
you let my time melt
into a puddle 
of astonishment
you always are
a wonder to behold
not sure if I said it
enough, 
or more
I have nothing 
to show now
for that day, 
except now
I have 
this revelation
that will 
be a reminder 
that harrows
curls, 
hurts
what evening?
when?
