the love years

when the day is nearly done
and the darkening sky is telling me
there's a thunder storm coming
like oh so many years ago
when my arms were full of you
caught out in a rain storm
just like the dried out desert sand
you soaked right into me
soaking into you
.
.
where do the days go
those days of love and evermore
romance walking on the shore
as the waves of time ever wash away
where does the love go
.
.
into a stowaway compartment
hidden beneath my bed
locked up in my head
and here in my heart's words
now seldom left unsaid
.
.
i miss the love years
