I REMEMBER YOU

I like you but then

The feeling is solely mutual.

The heart maybe afraid to love,

And it takes more than ordinary kisses

To drive its fears away.

But a kiss is too lethal to be spoken of.

Still that fatal kiss is what I’m seeking;

And to get it from a friend like you

In a world that’s filled with madness

I will be satisfied!

Nothing I say can smooth

The wrinkles off your brows;

Nothing I say can calm

The fury in your eyes;

Nothing I say can warm

The hisses from your mouth;

Nothing I say can hush

The thunder from your ears.

But in three words I can say

That, ‘I REMEMBER YOU.’
