Remembrance

She lies in the dark
Watching him sleep
Trying so hard
Not to weep
She prays for a moment
One more chance
Another song
One more dance
She closes her eyes
Slipping away
To happier times
Long lost yesterdays
They were young
So in love
Losing themselves
In the stars above
Thanking the gods
For a second chance
To capture the prize
In this game of romance
Finding peace
In each others arms
Where they were warm
Safe from harm
He was older
Somewhat secure
She was younger
A touch immature
Thought all that mattered
Was their love
Losing themselves
In the stars above
Growing together
Their love proved strong
Not always perfect
Never ever wrong
Seasons passed
Comfort grew
Dreams of a future
A love eternally new
Growing old
In the others arms
Growing old
Safe and warm

She sits in the dark
Watching him sleep
Trying so hard
Not to weep
Hiding the pain
Deep in her eyes
As she watches
He slowly dies
