I recognized you strutting on the street

seized with fantasies of what could be

and remembrances of what had been

I’d like to rekindle what we once had

you had the same flaming look of passion

hooding your eyes as you winked at me

as I was overcome in a flowing rush

wistful memories of a love gone wrong

heart wishing that our love had been right

bittersweet flashbacks of what once was

flooding over my soul with lust and yearning

tempted to spend the night with you since

mutual desire is awake and craving still there

but too much life has been lived by us both

agonizing loss has entwined us in mesh

metal claws strangling our tortured past

The pain of dying inside is too much to bear

Our love and need can touch no longer

and nobody knows it better than I

Let’s both wave goodbye and walk away.
