Again, please tell me... that once we loved.
Explain to me how time has disappeared.
Awakened pale images of lost moments together.
What has happened to all the years?

Life has taken us upon its curious journey.
We last kissed when April's rains were near.
Now remnants of summer's song echoes.
Will autumn's wind blow cold and drear?

I feel your essence... and like a faint remembered tune,
Lingering longings invade my every thought.
Yet, your image seems to blur as shadows dance
Amid the shards of memories our lives have wrought.

Our meeting lit a fire from deep within.
Can we balance love with duties bound?
Will we come to grieve our 'second coming?
Must we lose that which again we've found?

I swear to you that fate is not my friend,
For he's the one who's changed my rock to sea;
I'm in a garden filled with fragrant roses
Where to smell their blooms... is forbidden ecstasy!
