Seeing you on the other side of yesterday
you softly gazed at me
a memory I had forgotten
a sight I'd never thought I'd see
Hearing you on a silence from the future
you sounded like a different kind of man
I won't know what it is that you said
until that future is part of the plan
Tasting a sadness that reminds me
of a time that is still to come
I wash away the sweetness
that lingers upon my tongue
Inhaling an aroma of what was
I let it settle, closing my eyes
A scent of Springtime and longing
once upon a sunrise
Feeling you softly upon my soul
sending my heart straight back to you
my body is now yearning
my mind, so easily fooled
