It was many so many years ago, when together we were melting
upon the rise and fall, of the seas of longing
in your absence, there is still a connection
desire still lingers like winter, deep in my soul, cold and beautiful
there is a familiar ache, a gentle awakening
as my memories set sail in a sea of rising waves
slowly pouring out across the night
and for minutes in my imagination, I am once again standing close to you
your sweet words sounding softly like a murmur
drifting in from afar, forever lingering in my heart
