Beneath the Strawberry Moon
In another life, my dear,
I'd have kissed you tonight
beneath the strawberry moon.
I'd have made you laugh
and blush at your beauty,
and you'd have teased me with coy smiles.
But we would both know
our fates were bound together-
so why not our bodies as well?
And we'd have forgotten everything
except each other
beneath the strawberry moon.
But that's another life, my dear,
where I was stronger, wiser, and purer,
and got to you sooner.
Perhaps another man found you...
and my destiny is to be alone.
Perhaps it is so.
But there will be a heart-splitting beauty
in the melancholy of my solitude
beneath the strawberry moon.
