AND


Once somewhere in another time
I saw your face looking back at mine
And... my heart leaped with joy

For I had you all to myself once more
Hidden away behind a locked oak door
And... we were lovers

My life for a season knew no pain
For that short time you let me in
And... I knew you completely

We knew this love could not last
Soon it would be locked in the past
And... we both cried

We parted much like we had met
You went on your way...unhappy I bet
And... still you left

For years I waited for your return
Believing old bridges someday you would burn
And... you never did

I tried my best to stay away
Offering you the contentment you so craved
And ...I slowly died inside
