What is this newfound feeling?

For nothing comes to mind

To taste the passion through your lips

Of the love we left behind.

What passionate tongue do you defy,

What air and tune do you face?

I looked at you and said “no hope”

To accept the warmth of my embrace.

What I don’t risk to be close to you,

What I won’t do so you would see,

What could be done but I refuse

For you mean so much more to me.

Of love that came through melodies

If life had called their name;

If I must stay, I’ll keep them for you

And hold the rush that came.

But you are one I cannot have

As we plunge in life’s raging sea.

But still, I look back and see the pure

As a hopeful memory.
