Candy and Wine

Sitting here with you,

As the rest of the world passes us by

Probably more than we could ever realize

Years from now

Will I still see your pretty face

In my memory

Will you even recall my name

In all the years that come and go as the clocks tick away

The sparkle of the dresses you wear

Burning a hole in my mind

A lifetime from now

A planet different to the one we once walked on together

Further away than the moon is from the Earth

More distant that the sun is from Saturn’s icy ring

Why would you remember

There were years I forgot to recall

But such a pretty smile

Burned a hole from within my memory once more

I can’t recall the sound of your voice

But I still feel the warmth of your presence next to mine

And how you were sweeter than candy

And more lovely than wine
