A flickering flame still remains
In the embers of yesterday's fire
Like my memories of you from long ago
When you were my one desire.

What happened to our trysts of love?
Our meetings so filled with passion
Then you dropped me like a lead balloon
Did I just go out of fashion?

Was it something I did or maybe said?
Maybe something I didn't say or do
Whatever it was it broke my heart
So strong was my love for you.

My ardor still smolders, just like the ashes
Both doused by the onset of rain
It is better I’m told to have tasted love
So, you'll know if you taste it again.
