Our Dying Love

Our Dying Love

Love is like a dyin' ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain 

Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain  Willie Nelson

When we were young,
love flamed in hot passion.
Our souls entwined in bliss and
separation brought anguish
Living in the moment brought joy.

Our love is fading now, and
the spark is growing cold.
We barely speak. 
Separation will bring peace.

Willie said it best:
Love is like a dying ember
Only memories remain
