Memories of you

Picking up the pieces 
Pieces broken from dreams and whispers
And memories of distance 
Lover on the wind 
Blowing through my mind 
Connecting across space and time 
I'm falling into you 

Seeing visions past 
Flashes of emotion entrap, ensnare me 
In love I can't regain 
Pain I can't contain 
My inner world left without defense 
I call out your name 

Does this place exist? 
Is it only in my heart and mind -
The place where our souls connect 
The place where our love breathes 
The burst of light between us set free 
And I'm holding you 

Will I ever see your eyes? 
Their depths exceed the universe
The stars fall short in glory 
When viewed beside you 
And remembering your kiss 
Consumes me in desperation
The desolation of a heart that misses you 

Remember when your blue 
Mixed with my yellow 
And we became the color of growth 
Of life and love and rebirth 
'Like two distant polar points 
Destined to revolve around 
The other'

You were the song I longed to sing 
I was your lady of the breeze 
And every day when quietness 
Wraps around me 
And no one is there to sit beside me 
Your eyes, your heart, your mind 
Your memory 
Bubbles up inside me 
And I'm overwhelmed, overcome 
By all we were and 
How I loved and now you're gone 
And that I lost someone
My love
