Twinkling light dances off your hair and shimmering eyes
November night gifts me the sight of your breath in sighs
Barely perceptible but every bit a part of who you are
Such is the love between us burning and pushing oh so far
I found myself in places I said I’d never be only because it was with you
I stretched morality and conviction to the limits simply for the view
Waking up next to you still wrapped in passion and delight
Unforgettable if not a little regrettable in light of the light
But you don’t exist anymore as I swirl the memory in my brain
I could knock on your old door but the girl answering won’t be the same
The love I knew is no more and the whole world cries
A part of me died and won’t revive no matter who tries
Love I knew
Was not true
