I Loved a Lifetime

I loved a lifetime in a year, What's left of it? A smile, a tear. I keep them safely locked away Where the angels waltz and the poets play. So fine a thing I chanced to know, To fiercely love, though long ago. So sweet that dream that haunts me still-- Consumes my soul, and always will.

Coolness, you rock my world! That's the best comment I've received. I'm a spellbinder, is what. Keep away, I'm trouble. You've been warned, now proceed at your own risk--which makes this even more intriguing, doesn't it? This was from the heart. I'm nothing if not passionate. How intriguing :) mel :)
