Memory

I whisper you name
Am I so mad to feel
Those touches of long ago

I have taken your ways
moulded them to mine
will you feel it in time

I become angry at this space
Empty hands, a tender heart
tender thoughts miles apart

Each day I build a bridge
there in my mind where I lay
with you along side my form

Wishing to have been born
On another shore it is sad
My thoughts walk those shores

I have in my stupidity
Had chances given to me
By others as I journeyed so

I could have been with you
This is why, I cry deep inside.
Yet am quietly holding love

Did we both know of this
The time we spent only bliss
One time and that one last kiss

A faint shadow of beauty
Is there to fill my days
I hold you now, and always
