My lady..

  My lady.. Written in 1982.

My lady, I still cry out in sweet dreams your name.

So long since our lips had touched.
I still wish upon the first star of the night,
 to be able to look into your eyes.

I wish to awake with your body near.
To put my face into your long blond hair.
Be intoxicated by my love for you.

I wish to hold your tender hands on a walk by the lake.
Two  young titans with love as our shield, we were once.

My lady of joy and happiness.
Allow me to remember you sweetly,
for only in your arms did I feel complete.

Salvation I cannot find.
The knife of disappointment is cutting away at my tenderness.
Your love is the only loss I can’t get over.

My lady,
dressed in white.
Your long blond hair flowing in in the gentle breeze.
I dreamed you were whispering.
“I will only love you. Forever and a day.”

I have tried to erase your memory and
the memory is tattoos on my heart.
I learn too late. Paradise is rarely touched in a life.

Youth is the greatest high, I know now.
We were babies making great dreams happen.
Paradise of candles and the heat of love.
I didn’t know sweet dreams would break my heart forever.

My lady of tenderness.
Your beautiful face will not be forgotten.
You were my first true love.

A sweet memory upon a old heart today.
