Time flies when you’re in love.
It seems like yesterday we met
Like
yesterday we took that first step
Remember when?
When we looked into
each other’s eyes?
And there in the depth of our souls we saw
romance?
Romance that, though no longer expressed
through your amazing
kiss, soothing touch,
waits for you, and longs for you.
It calls for
you… listen and you will hear
the beat of my heart, like the beat of a
drum
We no longer dance
that enticing dance, what an incredible
dance
to our private rhythms,
our hearts provided the music
lips,
hands, our bodies entwined in this dance
there was only us, you and
me
So long now
I have loved you; you have held me and kept me
So
long now
my heart has ached for you,
I have dreamed of you;
open my
eyes and you’re no longer here
I’m alone now
but there are times
when I
feel you next to me
holding me, your warm breath on my neck
the way you
kiss, your hand my skin; my hand on you
It seems like yesterday
my
heart skipped a beat… wait
it was yesterday, when I thought of you… like
I always do
Your smile, your laugh, you
My one and only
truth.
