Do you remember when I called you mine
and the look in your eye could stop my heart
and a single touch could start it again?

Do you remember when love was a word,
a feeling, a moment, a look, a friend
who lived in our house so often?

Do you remember when forever seemed
such a short period of time
to share this fiery blossom of love?

I remember all this and more
which is why forever got up
and walked out the door.
