Love Again

Haunting memories of love long lost,
Find their way into my heart.
Long ago the world seemed so new,
When I first held you in my arms.

The love we shared lingers with me now
As I sigh a contended lovers sigh.
We parted ways that summer's night
Knowing that it would never be true.

I continue on un-ending days
Wishing to hold you once more.
As the years passed, I forgot you
And let you fade from within my heart.

In the darkness you have returned for me
Huskily calling into my dreams and heart;
Begging to belong to me once again.
How do I let you into my life now?

I loved you once with so much life
Held you ear to my heart for so very long
GAve you my innocence that cold winters night
As we lay there, the promises came.

We would spend eternity this way
And live together all our lives.
Your promises soon became nightmares
Which I daily force myself to forget even now.

I hear you calling for me tonight
And the emotions come back to haunt me.
Tingling warmth fills my very soul
As I ache again to feel the love we shared.

How is it that with just one touch of your hand
You can destroy the barriers I have in place?
Why am I even thinking of you today
When you are the one who left me standing here alone?
