And the music played. So glad we stayed. Lights flashing so bright, As day turns to night. On the roller coaster- wind in your hair, Games to win a plush bear.

Under the dome of nights shining like a sea of falling stars, The fruits of summer pour out their fragrant burden in a waltz of dreams, The aroma of encounters with you, my love, like an elixir of hidden gods, Intoxicates my senses and carries me on wings of time and longing.

You and I have been friends for many moons You and I have played together countless afternoons Not to mention many mornings and many nights.

I called you...
