There are places I remember from the time we spent together there, filled with memories of our loving, when our laughter warmed and filled the air. Now I go there when I'm empty and the pain is more than I can bear, and I pretend we're still together in the memories that we share.
Lonely days, so full of echoes from the voices of the cherished past--- I call your name, I taste your kisses-- I believed our love would surely last. Again I hold you, oh so tender at the dimming of the summer's day-- I feel your arms around me , and I still can hear you say:
"You're my angel, you're my spirit: my sun and moon, my everything! I've never known such loving, how you fill my heart and make me sing." And I believed you, how I loved you, it's so hard to go and leave you there when I come back from the feeling of the memories we share.
