Memories of touch still lie upon my fingertips
Like the words remain upon quivered lips
Echo tomorrow of yesterdays wine
Step dance left and right all through the mind
Promise of forever lay gentle upon the rain
Beared cross of never, came screaming just the same
Pillowed dreams give way to meanings unclear
Leave vapor trails upon the soul, as they vanish into thin air
Colossal deju-vu’s ring as if so surreal
While others embrace the pain, learning how to feel
I waited earth long through jaded thoughts of old
Captured the permeated essence of your perfume, lived the story told
And now the shadows dance inside my head
Hovers as is if they are the stars where lovers words were said
Immeasurable are the days, and the hours just the same
For time has chosen the ways, as I have chosen the blame
Only to await this sentence of fate
The time of a kiss having passed with the hour
Seems as if remembrance in song
Will display once again, love we searched to find
Was there before us…all along
