You And I

You said I was beautiful
One morning over coffee
When I still couldn't bring myself
To look directly at you
For fear you would vanish like a phantom
From my wildest dreams

You said you loved me
During twilight when the sun was setting
Behind the dense greenery
And the smell of surrounding wood
Filled our senses with the sense
Of life and promise

I said goodbye
One night when the moon was full
As my heart was empty
When the stars no longer shined
For lovers and dreamer
As a beacon for those
Perpetually lost
