There is a girl... She dances and twirls In yellow or white sun dresses You may search all around but she can only be found deep in my mind's recesses. There she plays and there she'll stay Forever in beauty sublime Many years have passed Without touching the lass Felicitously frozen in time. She accompanied me to ecstasy When Love made its grand premiere Although there's been sequels none of them equals That first, so magic and dear. She was the first To quench my thirst The first to moisten my lips No kiss that came since has been as intense Nor hotter finger tips We loved in the light and in the dark of night. In wakefulness and sleep There had been none before or so she swore... With a lie more than twelve layers deep. My skin still burns with the things I learned The things she knew so well I forgave and forgave For only she could save my heart from the depths of her Hell She was my damnation and my salvation To both she held the key To keep her... I'd pray But there stll came the day When my heart was finally set free. Hollowed out and shattered Nothing else mattered But it's true what they say about Time. Days turned to years Drying my tears From the pit I slowly did climb. Last time she was seen She was obese, old and mean Cussing her kids all about The folks in the mall were disgusted, appalled and I was thankful we didn't work out. But still... There is a girl... She dances and twirls In yellow or white sun dresses... |

I could swear I heard a mandolin in the background. Very musical, and why, of course, shouldn't it be! Perfecto! |

This is one of those that defies you to quote just one or two lines as being the ones that stand out. Quite simply, the entire work stands out. Very lovely. Sandra |

She was my damnation and my salvation To both she held the key ~*~ from the title to the end... and then smiled...in knowing.   |

oh how beautiful this memory is, and oh, to have someone wish to remember me that way would be so incredible a feeling. You have a sweet heart, Larry. |

Larry...that memory is one you made, and it's not her, but it's wonderful to think it was like that...and grand to know she was then not now. |
