In a night this love

On my lips you will remember my name.

Remember my name when it meant so little?

So little a fragment blessing life with time.

With time we shall become who we are.

Who we are is always who we choose to be.

Choose to be the passion, I will be the pain.



So little words can be spoken out in desires so true,

remembering your face as we drift to sleep.

Tested by tests for answers so unclear,

changing the questions to understand.

In my arms there will be comfort inside,

unbroken, unheard, undefiled.



Here is my heart, you can have it.

Here is my soul, you can tame it.

Here is my life, you created it.

Here is my touch, embrace it.

Here is my dream, you can live it.

Here is my love, I am yours.



Slowly leaves turn into red,

red eyes making the fall.

Fall skies under life so trivial,

trivial pain in pleasure’s eyes.

Eyes speaking beauty within,

within my heart where you are.



Save me from myself in my nightmares cold.

Where only ends are for the means lost.

In your heart my way is spoken in a look.

Remember me as you close your eyes.

No tomorrow unlike today.

Only love in all ways this night.
