letters to...

once was a good memory

It was dark
And humid
A typical night in June
We ate and we laughed
And we stood

We stood under the stars in the shallow cold water and swayed back and forth
Mimicking A dance
As my eyes where to the sky
Yours where on me
The others stood by the porch taking in the breeze
You said something to the lines of

"If only we had music
This could be perfect"

And I said we did
And I almost said it was
We swayed to the sound of crickets and passing cars

I told you the names of the stars
We talked about history
And dreams

As we stood

We stood under the stars in the shallow cold water and swayed back and forth

As we waited for the power
You told me your dreams
And I told you mine

You told me I would be ok and I believed you right then and there
Because as you held me

I was safe

My whole world was right there

And we stood

We stood under the stars in the shallow cold water and swayed back and forth

You said you where making your self a fool and got down on one knee and asked something so mundane
And I answered with a kiss
You swang me around and plotted my feet to the ground you pulled me close after dancing around

And we stood
We stood under the stars in the shallow cold water and swayed back and forth
We hadn't promised much
Just to be there
And to love

And
we stood
We stood under the stars in the shallow cold water and swayed back and forth
Mimicking A dance
My eyes where on you
Yours where on me
And as we stood I was
Happy
This was once my good memory
Now it makes me
Cry
To think of a time that was once
You and i.
