Reminisce

Way back when
You caught me with your smile
And light sparkled on water
While blossoms scent with our love
We danced in magic 
To the tune of our hearts
Melodies hummed in our laughter

Way back when
I was captured by your warm embrace
And the skies became our pillow
We walked on sunshine
With each trip to heaven
Love being our guide
We flew through the skies

Way back when
I was enriched by your golden touch
And the world existed no more
In your arms there was nothing more
than the here, 
than the now
You were my all

And the storm clouds came
Thunder broke our flight
Rain would sing no more
And winds of anger shout
Lost we were 
Alone we were
But not together though

Today we meet
Hello we sing
We are no longer in When
We reminisce 
We closed the lid on that which must be closed
Respect we have
Memories we will cherish

...Of those way back when.
