~ Before the Winter Moon ~

 

Memories ripple

like time, indefinite

like my love - my downfall

inevitable and bittersweet

 

we knew the risk

we were of two different worlds

but what did a far-off future matter

when time would stop and the sky would fall

every time we came together?

 

"I guess we'll make love under the Cherry Moon"

you'd whisper in my ear each night

my return smile would get lost in your kiss

the sky turned indigo

and the moon blushed

as you took me across that forbidden bridge

 

you're the wind and the rain

you've got a river that takes away my pain

drowned my ghosts and made me sane

but while we loved, we loved in vain

 

the tide pulled, the moon turned

and winter came too soon

I closed my eyes, you slipped away

and all the midnights in the world

couldn't bring you back to me.
