Never Become a Memory

New dawns break Still my heart can’t shake New love to take over my life One step closer to wanting a wife The ghosts in my heart confess No more distorted realities No more sleepless nights No more dramatic fights Just happy smiles Missing you all the “whiles” I sleep I eat I chill with my boys When you cease to be there Feelings appear out of thin air Like the voices in my head that tell me to wish you near Drifting emotional mist blankets my mind Covers my fears and leaves everything white Boundless expanses of adore Hold you in my arms And suddenly I need nothing more Love speaks definitions I never knew Till I heard you say that you loved me too Couldn’t find my way till Your smile pointed the way To your heart The ghost of my past Beg you to never join them The ones that now walk like ghosts The ones that only served to intensify my thirst Only spoke the words of the game Never thought about love till I spoke your name
