Memories of Love

Memories Of Love Memories of a love so very long ago lost The scent of your hair willing my senses The look in your eyes as you clung to me in a thunderstorm Your voice as you spoke my name and said “I love you” That first kiss in the coolness of a autumn morning The dance we had where you stepped all over my feet Your first cooked meal and the special taste of charcoal The talks we had that lasted until the sun rose above the horizon Making love on the beach as the last vestiges of light filled the western sky The smile on your face when you agreed to be mine The tears you had when we had our first fight The way you laughed when I said it was all my fault Those are memories from a love that started before time A love that grew through all of history A love that now is fading to the past Except for memories
