For My New Old Flame

For My New Old Flame Let’s find our way back through the years To when love was something more than smoke and mirrors And let’s go back to a time when you and I Suddenly felt love deserved a try Circumstances, however, prevailed And my bleeding heart was left unveiled And in all that time my feelings wouldn’t fade There was nowhere to hide no shelter, no shade Around every corner there was only despair I longed for when I was sharing your air Recently, though, I’ve felt like I did Those years ago when we were just kids And it seems like we both have come full circle And our hearts may be bruised and colored purple But if you promise me that you’ll still be my friend Even if this love again has to end Then I promise you that I’ll do what I can To make my love reach across desert sand And if I have to I’ll get down and crawl Across every mile and fight through it all Just to make us last as long as we should And so we can stand where we once stood Way up above everyone on the ground Eyes closed and lips locked, we’re not looking down I say we let us be us again As the words ‘be mine’ flow through my penmy cheesy valentine's day poem Written February 15th, 2002 © on Feb 15 2002 08:26 AM PST, daniel (6) joseph (6) scarpa (6)   0 • 8
