I remember sitting next to you
And dreaming of things I'd like to do
I leaned over to give you a kiss
Yet you walked off and left me with a diss.
I remember standing close to you
Trying to understand why you're so blue
I leaned in closer to embrace you tight
Yet you pulled away, disappearing into the night
I remember laying down with you
Struggling to capture a clue
Why were you so distant recently?
Why was it so hard to see?
Could it be that your heart is no more?
Your heart has finally been rooted from it's core
Now your colder than you've ever been
And I'm sleeping restlessly again.
I remember walking behind of you
walking side by side we no longer do
If I were to pull up and hold your hand
You'd jerk away as if you know not this man.
I wish I could see what's bothering you so
Then we could try and let it go
But you're so frigid and seem so gone
That when we talk it's a conversation of one.
I remember finally getting some time
To sit next to you and discover why
How could we have drift so far away?
Only you could answer this question I ask today.
You stood up and try to retreat
But I could not allow you to leave
I love you and you should know
That I'm here for you through hot and cold.
You stared me down as if asking why
How could I not know as I peer into your eyes?
A tear trailed down your reddened cheek
You pulled away leaving emotions so bleak.
I was confused and you was hurt
We were being separated like sea and earth
You left me standing here trying to think
Contemplating when we had severed our link.
A speeding thought popped into my head
A second later and I had fled
This was an emergency
No ordinary cure could fix what ought to be.
Hours later I'm back at the house
I hope I can bounce back from being a major louse
I left a card beneath the bedroom door
Hoping you read it and fall to it's lure.
You open the door and noticed a rosy trail
It shuttles down the stairs and stop at another mail
You read this one and a smile seeps through you
You follow it's instructions on what you should do.
Moments later you appear at the basement's stair
The whole place is dimmed but to a perfect atmosphere
You shy your way down to me whose dressed in a suite
You wrap your arm around me and whisper "so cute".
I've set up a table with every thing you love
Roses, scented candles and even two trained doves
Decorative tablecloth, flowered drinks and pastries
There's even dozens of red napkins reading HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I hold you tight and caress your jet black hair
"How could I ever have forgotten this, my dear?"
Another tear trickles down yet another reddened cheek
Though there is a smile that seems very weak.
I walk over to the CD player and pop in a disc
It's the first song we danced to and before our first kiss
There are now streams of tears that paint your face
But you still maintain a posture of beauty and grace.
We embrace each other and take to the floor
Dancing in the aroma as the candles scents soar
You leaned in closer and attempt to gain a kiss
But before our lips meet you ask "What was our wish?"
"Twenty years prior to this magnificent day
I pledged to always remain faithful and never lose my way.
I vowed to love you and no other woman in sight
Because as long as I live there in nothing more right."
She leaned in closer and completed what she sought
A renewal in promises to ensure our lovely thoughts
Our anniversary isn't just another holiday
It reinforces that our love should never decay.
When I forgot and never seemed to care
She took it as an statement that the end was drawing near
She collapsed and suffered that my love for her was naught
And every thing that we worked for had undoubtedly been shot.
"My darling, my princess, I could never lean away,
there is no other bed besides yours that I would rather lay.
-chuckles- Age seems to have caught up with me.
But a hundred years could never erase you from my memory.
We kissed, remembered, we indulge ourselves this night
We corrected our wrongs and rekindled our flaming light
We hugged, we held hands and shed our hearts of pain
As long as she was happy, there is nothing else worthy to attain.
