As I lie awake
November 17, 2017
As I lie awake
those times I remember
when we sat by the fire
till it was only embers
As I lie awake
those times I recall
when we watched across the sea
the blending shades of nightfall
As I lie awake
those times I dwell upon
when we talked for several hours
all the way from dusk till dawn
As I lie awake
I long for those days
when our spirits felt alive
when our hearts felt ablaze
The fire has gone out
my lively heart did break
and now I long for the past
as I lie awake
