I remember
I can see and hear and feel those lost days as if it were yesterday
The passion and the fire of youth burning my skin
You
How you made me wild with desire and adventure
I was bold and brave
In all my insecurities I still felt powerful
I knew there was a secret to my gaze that could bring you closer
I want to close my eyes tonight and dream of those days, I want this chance to feel alive again
I want to remember

Bite my tongue
Make it bleed
Never mention what I need
Stay quiet, suffer in silence
All my focus to build my defence
I seek my escape over infinite walls
I cannot think about failure
The pity of others
The mistakes made, the poor choices
I have finally found my voice
It may not be tomorrow but I will leave you

From where the mountains kiss the blue
I drop a note
I love you.

The faded pink of her lips
blends with the radiant gold
the sun pours into the air.

My mind wispy light in joy
flies over the top
before melting in silence.

No words count here
in the quiet submission.

A year is going to die
but its memories will stay
in the times ahead.

The success, the failure, the try
will be there next day,
the worries to carry to bed.

But over all else
the love I got
will still warm my heart.

As certain as time sails
what can't be bought
will be life's special part.

Was I as generous in giving
for this special gift I received
was I as kind?

The question is haunting
though I tried indeed
my best wasn't good enough I find.

Forgive me where I failed
didn't shine in the light
you let me be in.

I promise to make amend
and keep it in sight
loving you more is all I mean.
