Closing my eyes I am taken back,
To another time, another place.
Memories wash over me,
My heart drowning in my tears.
Tender kisses,
Warm embraces,
Images dance through my mind.
It was another time, another place.
Silly laughter,
A stroll in gentle rain,
A picnic under the elm,
Fireside passion,
The way you spoke my name.
My soul is forever tied to yours,
Pink ribbons of love,
Now faded into gray.
It was another time, another place.
I long to be free,
Imprisoned in sorrow I still remain.
Such a reckless theif you were,
To steal my heart,
Then carelessly toss it away.
So painful are the journeys,
To that other time,
That other place.
