The resounding bells

I heard them today
As I stared into your eyes
They rang for my words
For the deeds that brought us here

I met you on a day much like today
Sun and slight breeze brushing your hair
I wined you, I dined you
I painted you in reds and golds

I took you and held you tight
I gave you my life, my family
I bought you gold and silver
I forged you a totem to beauty

So I came here once again
Where I saw you to begin
To sit you down and tell you
That I loved do love and will

I heard them today
As I stared into your eyes
declaring my love
The resounding bells of indifference

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

There is no colder sound, it is the anthem of lonely. Nice one Walter!
