And I Remember

Beneath the bright full moon

And dark canopies of trees above on the cliff

I see silhouettes of lovers

Two as one

Clinging to each other

And I remember

Dare I climb the spiraling trail and sneak closer

Risking an end to my voyeur’s pleasure

Though you and I learned the art

Of silent footsteps

Before you were whisked away

The new lovers, dangerously close to the cliff’s edge, might hear me

Thunder

I smell rain coming

And ache to touch you

You loved the rain

Once more

I crave kisses on bare skin

I remember

You whispered you would always be

Mine

As you entwined your soul in

Mine

But you were whisked away too soon

I remember

No one else feels like you

Tastes like you

Laughs like you

Cries like you

Makes love like you

Beneath the bright full moon

And dark canopies of trees above on the cliff

I see silhouettes of lovers

Two as one

Clinging to each other

And I remember
