If This Was the Last

Wet leaves of summer footprints we left on the soft ground for us, tomorrow was filled with sorrow from the parting of love, we found Those days of Summer seemed endless when the youthful fire of desire burned We cast off the shawl of innocence and was devoured by the longings we yearned You were the first eyes I fell into mine laid before you to be found The starry nights became a blanket we'd lay under when we crossed over the invisible realm Goodbye was a word we never spoke we knew we'd go our separate way with a promise we'd meet again in another time, in another day That night was the last kiss before sorrow we let our lips melt in the flesh of hunger until the rays of the sun rose and the sky turned blue until the shadows of dawn were covered in dew until the marriage of memories invited wonder We allowed the passing moments to reflect what was before our morning's parting of sadness heartfelt we again touched the unknown wrapped in the intimacy we felt We struggled together in the depth of our soul yet, welcomed the last sweet taste of splendor we created a lasting memory as time became our enemy Our hearts gave their last pleading tomorrow had to find its own meaning
