Dark Angel

Oh how, I remember your expressive eyes
So youthful and full of lust
So full of life
And very fond of adventure

Oh how, I remember your smile like welcoming arms
That would greet me with the promise of never having to endure pain
Because you were my heart that would never break

Oh how, I remember your skin of deep colored chocolate
And how, I wanted to taste the sweetness of your skin
But dared not, because I knew without knowing
That I wouldn’t be able to get enough of such richness

Oh how, I remember the endless nights of courtship
And how, it was so innocent
The chemistry was so strong that it felt dangerous
Dangerous to a heart afraid of falling in love

Oh how, I remember your car approaching my house
So that we could ride to places which were foreign to our eyes
But the pleasure of discovery, very familiar to our souls

And although, we have not parted
Still the distance keeps us knowing our limits

So deep within the crevice of my mind
I know things between us, will never again, be the same

When we are like time-
Always,
Changing

The repetition of words and sounds serves to strengthen the verse nicely. Only suggestion remove the dreaded "that" it's unnecessary and weakens the line. Stay in love. Light & Love Debbie
