The Christmas Anniversary


 


 I felt a playground full of missed sensations tonight

For the first time in so long


The love songs 


To my inner sanctuary have been plundered

By grief's harsh words 

Filled with thunder


I can only hope and pray

We meet again

Some day


For rare moments 

Sometimes appear under the sun


Moments to make your heart beat faster 

Like a drum 


So when 

He Who Casts A Long Shadow Called

For you


With his wide smile of 

How Do



I can still remember you saying


Love's a dangerous game 

One of fire and no hint of shame


But we played it so well

So as I cross over


With he who has come


Always remember me and all the fun we had

Before it all turned bad


So today

I smile


Proud to have played

Proud to feel this pain


For when finding true love


You'll live forever

For someone special


Will always remember 

Your name
