Mercy, mercy me….


 Mercy, mercy me…

We were Long Island ice teas and long talks.We were free-climbers of the free mountains and we loved dancing with the Pacific.You were the most beautiful woman, I ever seen.

I remember when you came to me, wrapped your arms around me, whispered. “You can’t run no-more, you and me. Just dreamers and foolish. Mercy, mercy me. You made me, so crazy. Please kiss me once, please kiss me a million times.”
We were summer lovers, Fall times friends. We savored the seconds, the hours. We knew.
Life would betray us, and life would consume us. In the Winter, I was deployed, and we knew.
Maddening words we said. Just wishes whispered to the winds. We knew before we started the fire of love, was a dangerous and impossible ride.

I left you in January and I didn’t know. Would be the last time, I saw your face and held you tightly. If I knew. I would of stayed and never released you.
