Remember

There were nights I'd stay up Keeping watch until you wake up There were nights I'd sleep off With the lights not turned off Your cushy breasts my pillow Your beating heart my lullaby The stars looked up to us The moon smiled on us Birds silenced by our songs Songs of rhyming rhythms Made by our beating hearts In unison singing to dance Our days were shorter Our nights were not long either Yet our happy faces lasted longer Forgetting the hunger We had food for the soul Making our body and mind whole When finally our crossings pass I will walk these paths My feet without woebegone shoes Leaves prints bare for you to choose I'm sweeter than November Hear this and remember There were days I'd stay up Keeping watch until you wake up There were nights I'd sleep off With the lights not turned off Your cushy breasts my pillow Your beating heart my lullaby
