Untitled #31

Do you still remember me?
The way I still remember your touch
Those stolen kisses and secret wishes
The little looks that meant so much
Two hearts, two minds undivided
Confiding in the night, denying the morning light
Collapsing in the delight
And wrapped in the bliss on the desert of desire
What did we do to fuel that fire?
The burning and yearning
When the time was never enough
When we could have stopped the earth from turning
A day suspended, that never ended
Trapped and enthralled
With the heat coming from your eyes
And the lingering mem'ry of your caresses
Whose light shined brighter, then the light
Of the stars in the midnight sky.

Do you still think about me?
The way I still think about you
Do you regret walking away?
The way I regret, not asking you to stay
In that moment of indifference
That shining instant of fear
When belief in forever was fading
With vicious doubts invading
And me ignoring that single tear.
So now that I can't surrender
So now that I can't escape
I see now that I was deceived
Now that I dream of you, while I'm still awake
Now that I know what it means to ache
Still I go on, pretending I don't give a damn
As the years of distance take their toll
The mem'ry of a heart, I tore apart
And left broken on the floor.
When sleep is slow in coming
Blinding staring into vacant space
The rapture of a time now lost
The thing inside I can't replace
Here...these are my desires
Here...these are my lost dreams
Here...these are my empty hopes
Hear, can't you hear,
The echo of my screams?

Do you still remember me?
