A Memory of You

I have become lost in the river

of your eyes

carried away on a torrid current

of fantasy and desire

You tell me it's fruitless, that your love is an empty promise.

I understand, I really do, but you see, there is a problem...

You've owned my heart
Since the moment I laid eyes
Upon your sweet face.

The way you light up
When you smile at me
Still steals

From the day we met

You had my heart

I fell in love with you

From the very start

There was something so special

In the way you

I've been alone a long, long time

sure, I've been awfully lonely

but, I couldn't forget

the times we had had

that seem to
