Letter To a Lost Love

The night was young and full of promise still
                                     the music kept beat with my heart
the lights in a flash to compete with the mood
                                     revealed but a glance of your face

I had to approach you though shackled with fear
                                      and to my surprise, you approved
We exited quietly to walk with the moon
                                            in search of an intimate chase

A midnight affair that lingered till four
                                       with kisses much hotter than sun 
A love so intense as to shatter the earth
                                         and shiver the spine of the bold

I held tight my love, I needed much more
                                               a lifetime would never fulfill
As passion then parted with vows of resolve
                                             the hope of reunion was slim

I knew I could not hold you, can water hold the sky
                                              yet fantasy hijacked my soul
A brief romance only was then my reward
                                  though one that lives on without end
 
Forever it seems since I tasted of your lips 
                                 yet even still, I can’t forget that night
I’ll not forget the music or the moon or beating hearts
                                 when even I but only hear your name

I remember everything
