Words I’ve never spoken are those I’ll never write, like words that might recall the glow I felt one night. . . One choice lifetime’s fragment I took for paradise. . . a time for which my memory alone cannot suffice. One summer’s whispered end. . . your feel, your touch, your scent, your lashes on my cheek, the pure enrapturement. . . your hands and hair like silk, your pause to gaze on me - they seem more an illusion now than past reality. Refrain: Words I’ve never spoken are those I’ll never write, like words that might recall the glow I felt one night. . . No words can bring to life the fleeting ghost of you. You haunt my empty hours; there’s nothing I can do, for if you think of me, I guess I’ll never know. And how you made me thrill no words can ever show. Refrain: Words I’ve never spoken are those I’ll never write, like words that might recall the glow I felt one night. . .
