Squeeze In Some Old Love

Night sky is splashed with glitter,
As I lie  on my  back in the desert sand
Reminiscing this is where we first met
This is  where I once held your hand.

The icy wind blows cutting deep in my bones
is it you or is it me  I am  wondering,
Which one of us  has to take the blame
Of  these mean cold vibes initiating

I take a handful of sand in my fist
Helplessly see the time slip
Just as the sand slips out
Even as I try to tighten my grip


When did we drift apart exactly
When did our love perish
That we turned deaf to each other's
Sounds of anguish

I write in the sand and watch
 as the  wind wipes it clean
Lets find that old love to start afresh
And wipe the slate clean


And There are thousands more wishes 
than my few left breaths could fulfill
I know it is autumn of our lives
Lets  squeeze some old love in the chill
