Precious Memories

The same heart you hold me 
Will one day embrace me no more?
The same thoughts you think of me 
Will one day remember me no more?

Precious memories to drown the fears 
And faded mirth is stained with tears 
Anguish lies in those flaming hours
When we spent gathering the years.

You gave me your sweet loveliness 
breathtaking, irresistible, delightful bliss
But my heart is crying, brutal and broken
Gasping, dying, stumbling to the end.

Are you still there in the dreams we share?
I know love is there by the way you care
Your permanent presence lives in my heart
toiling, as we grow old, never to be apart.

But a fleeting breath has swifter powers
Drawing me away further from your arms 
Time wherein I pray broke the frailest heart
taking our journey back to where we start
