Memories of Love**

Drowning in emotions, as your heart pines
you study her like a book, seeing the signs
what could you do, by chance you met her
unable to foresee, your heart she would stir

Waiting was killing me, deciding this is my stance
a game of nerves, there won't be another chance
with all my prayers, preparing for this special day
having spent so much time, thinking of what to say

So stunningly beautiful, my imagination did rise
now if she would look my way, my greatest prize
how to bring it about, to let her know how I feel
perhaps she won't believe me, her heart to steal

A love waits to be found, although its owner is lost
what I would not do for this love, whatever its cost
I've been imprisoned, and my emotions are on trial
love now at the mercy of another, there is no denial

Approaching from behind, placing my hands over her eyes
as I whispered "guess who" in her ear, but it was no surprise
she suspected who it was, finding out she too felt something
my heart was ready to burst, my blood pressure was jumping

My life was at a turning point, and feelings of love were at a stage
a love with depth and meaning, captured in a book on every page
as I look back to that time in my life, longing again for this feeling
in youth this love, fueling this happiness, was the ultimate healing

Coming to the end of my book, memories of past love have faded
reliving this happiness and serenity, can no longer be anticipated
yet, while you are still young find this love, for in your heart it sets
memories fade, but love remains, because the heart never forgets
