In Shades of Me and You

I met you where no flowers bloom And you got drunk on my perfume. I met you when my walls were high, Where days and nights met eye to eye. I smiled at you and you went weak, A faint blush colored your cheek. I smiled at you and you smiled back And hit me like a heart attack. I kissed you under lilac trees, My hair was ruffled by a breeze. I kissed you hard, I kissed you long, And so I knew where I belong. I loved you until my heart bled, With each and every word you said. I loved you like a thunderstorm Made of flames and ash alone. I lost you in a summer morning. You went so fast, without a warning. I lost you when the skies turned gray. You lost me when you walked away.
