2002 When I loved you
Everything felt different
A cold hand entwined in mine
The embrace of warmth and love
Wind whipping as we stood
And watched the world float by
When I loved you
Everything tasted different
I could run my tongue
Over salty, moist skin
Lick my hungry lips
For substance no longer there
When I loved you
Everything looked different
Colours were brighter
Sun illuminating your hair
Warm sparkle in your eyes
Now vision is impaired
When I loved you
Everything sounded different
The words that escaped
Soft lips were whispered
Truth and honesty and care
Sometimes I forget that
When I loved you
Everything was different
Remembering your face
Meant feeling life penetrate
While now it means uncertainty
As to what was real
...and what my mind made
