Do You Remember

Do you remember
I do
I remember you

You were the girl in the park that night
So scared
And beautiful
By the street light
Intrigued and allured by your radiant sight
I recall that fateful night

Do you remember staring me
As I walked from the shadows
Beneath a moonlit tree
Slowly, cautious, and deliberately
Not speaking a word
So silently

Remember how you ran from me
You tripped on a step
Then fell against a tree
Scratching and clawing
Just to break free
Your eyes screamed out a silent plea

Remember how I held out my hand
I pulled you up
Then helped you stand
Do you recall me being that man
To calm you down
And do what I can

Remember that night
And what happened last
Is it buried too deep
In your dark distant past
When you smiled so sweetly
Pressed against me
Then killed me

Now do you remember
I do
And I’ve come back for you
