Waterfalls

a memory of a wonderful time

My memory is vivid with the view
High on a road.
I see the waterfall
The light dancing like magical fairies
I wonder if you go there now
And remember the special times
When we walked, and laughed and talked
And fell in love.

Now the waterfalls are here in my bedroom
Wet, salty tears start there
The mouth is inside my heart
They rise full force
Well up in my eyes
For a moment, they fill up standing still
Then overflow, down my cheek
As they fall I remember the wood
Where we walked, and laughed and talked
And fell in love

My desire hasn’t waned for you
But yours for me has cooled to ice
The bitter tears I shed should cleanse me
Yet the more I cry, the greater the need to sob
Telling myself it’s over doesn’t help
It was so perfect, or so I thought
When we walked and talked and laughed by the waterfall
In the woods and fell in love
