LEAVE THE WINTER ON THE GROUND
“There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.”
― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember

IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND - GORDON LIGHTFOOT
Thanks Dearheart! : 0))
Lay a feather on my pillow
layer it with sweetest dreams
take my hand and wrap it round you
fill my heart and split my seams
bursting forth with loving memories
tender as the sultry night
where we spent my teenage years
hiding secrets; out of sight
clandestine; travelling; sands of time
leaving footprints; leaving imprints
with the love that made you mine
close my eyes and carry me there
back to those halcyon days
before my bubble burst and spilled
dimpling pockets; crazy ways
shadows cast that fade with love
eventually it dies away
and only the faintest subtle shades
can be seen within the passing of our days
heart-shaped shadows cast by rocks
golden light and butterflies
kisses delicate yet so fulfilling
emitting fireworks in my eyes
admit to me that you too feel this
when you remembered how we were
bound together in our memories
can you begin to feel a stir
how casually now you seem to be
repeating all my words back to me
separated by the deepest sea
that increased the distance and set us free
looking up now to blue skies
I can admit my foolish ways
but if you ask me if I regret them
I would have to tell you I would have stayed
had you not dissolved our love and weakened
diluted it with toxic waste
by-products that confused and drowned me
left on my lips a bitter taste
that faded too in time and now
I can speak your name once more aloud
yet still when I am in that city
I often see your face within the crowd
sleep well now and please forget me
I may never walk this way again
but I will always carry the love I felt for you
cry warm tears while walking in cool rain.
