By the fire, crackling with warmth We kept each other cool Hands locking in the soft breeze Eyes woven in a timeless pattern Gentle for each other, dark lace In another place. Intelligent, your eyes spoke for your soul You were nobody’s fool Pretty words of love for infinity Your thoughts raced ahead in time Strong with a heart that knew no fear In another year. Beautiful moments, enclosed in the smoky air Where music and silence rule Fretful fingers wove flowers in my hair As tender as the touch of the wind Blazing love bled me like a knife In another life.
