Not so long ago, there was you and I
What happened, we thought would never be...

I thought it would forever be
Just you and me...

I looked at all the things
you have given me...

I caught a swallow
Placed it in a cage...

Backpacks aren't always a pretty sight to see
Especially when they are left outside the door...

It was the image of the sunset
flickering in your eyes...

Sea mist fills the air
Like clouds of perfume puffs...

The past seems only yesterday
It's hard to believe what slept away...

Oh, how I wish from slumber I would never wake
Have me in the sweetest dream I long to partake...

A child born on Christmas Eve
His mother died the minute he lived...

The night was gray and musky
Streetlights glowed fumingly...

Words can only capture so much
But could only hope to reach...
