To Have Known

When memories glow like luminous fireflies And days become another red thread on the horizon When hope is nothing more than thunder rumbling, in the heart contained, a reminder of times when love was you, and I, was a light that brought comfort from shadows, to your needs To what end, do you haunt me so? A desire to feel again my feet float endlessly or passionate nights caused by your mouth's kisses, we mingled with stars on farthest hills felt the warmth from soft hands, when they held tight under rising moons Yes, I've kept your memory close Like a star crossing the night sky etching a trail, burned into the eyes, to disappear in darkness, leaving only wishes and a sense of awe, that comes from shared moments, of perfection
