Memories of Yesterday
Lovers drift away with my yesterday
Yet, leave their shadows behind to remind
In the midst of my mind's eye, they will stay
To drift back again, when I rest to find
They share a memory's time which lingers
And a faded face of silent sadness
A wish that had fallen through my fingers
Those days of love's emotional madness
When each day and night was meant for lovers
Who sought paradise where the world belies
When kisses begot love one discovers
And soft warm tongues exchanged mints between sighs
The timelessness of days forever gone
Are only memories to look upon
