Songs Of Love

How can I forget the songs of love,
How can we live again those verses of love,
Why can't we just chase everyone and get them,
How can I forget, what it took me to have you.

The songs of love I sang for you,
The melodies of desire I struck for you,
The melancholy of passion rose up,
In those songs we danced.

The music was up high in our ears,
Our hearts thumped so did our desires,
Our bodies craved our touch, so did our love,
In those songs we lived a thousand times but died a thousand times too.

The dance was slow,
The music was slow,
We touched each others souls and crept into each other,
In slow subtle ways of love.

We tore apart our selves for each other,
We found solace in each other,
In those songs of love,
In those songs of passions,
We danced with every emotions.

The loved faded away,
We found love in trusting each other,
The trust faded away,
We found love in worshipping in each other.

The worship faded away,
We went mad for each other,
The madness faded away,
We died for each other.

Our graves are buried somewhere,
Our bodies are departed somewhere,
But in those songs of love,
We lived and died for each other.
