State of constant confusion!

Holding hands in the park
Softly kissing in the dark
Lightning flashing cross the sky
I watched it reflecting in your eyes
Every day I drift back to that night

Watching movies from the bed
Images rolling through my head
Making love on rainy nights
Then falling asleep in soft moonlight
What I wouldn't give for one more try

one more sunset by the sea
one more picnic under the trees
one more smile as i tickle your knee
one more kiss from your sweet lips
one more touch from your fingertips
one more memory with you is all i need

hearing you say good-bye
Was the saddest moment of my life
Then I watched you drive away
With nothing left to say
What i wouldn't do to turn back time


"Don't wish upon a star...Reach for one!!"

One more memory of you, oh Jeffrey this is so warm and passionate, so often we do bring back memories of times we wish had never passed, One more time we do try to play it back with our memories and in our dreams. I enjoyed this very much.

Jeffrey~
You tug the heartstrings with this one.
How lovely are the memories - how sad the goodbye.
*Hugs* my friend.

Jeff,

What we wouldn't give for one more memory to add to the collection.  Good-bye is always sad my friend.  Remember, tomorrow is a brighter day.  A wise man told me that once.
