Old  desires made the fire
every time I think about you
I feel the flame burning deep within me
I think about those blissful years
when there were no sad tears,

I had written to you in my heart
sometime ago
when loves curtain open
for the world to see our show of long ago
those old comforted memories
of you and I made me cry,

Now the curtain of our love closed
it burns the old fire out
all we have is the smoke from the flames
that brought on yesterday's pains
given so much rain
I feel so a shame
to let or love end this away,

Those old desires
made long-lasting memories
when your love was with me
I could almost feel your every touch
when the wind blows my way
it is almost like you are kissing at my lips
oh, how that burns deep within me,

Those old desires
kept that flame burning on high
with those fragile moments
where tears started to flow
and the curtain began to close
and that was the end of our show
of long ago smoke.
