I've started to count backwards
To memories of love's account
And find a pattern truly yours
An unconditional amount
Determined to remember
The key to your caress
And stress in loneliness
Away from your desire
But then you come right back
And fill my world with warmth
With radiant, healing fire
With heat that floats me higher
Your lips are the elixir
The never-failing cure
To shadows hidden deep
A light forever pure
I fear the days without you
That haven't happened yet
If your road ends before mine
Or I start to forget
I cherish and surrender
To this right now with you
To the time and place we share
And your forgiving stare
I'm granted more than love
And I am to amass
The minutes and the hours
The days right as they pass
