Caire

Falling
Falling across time

                                                                                     CAIRE


I remember draggin' down 69 til the car began to shake
I still recall seventeen and the chances we would take
I won't forget your auburn hair, the way you brushed it down
On those lazy summer days with desire all around
The wind caressed and lingered
The ground lay green and rough
Moments only, tenderness,
The time wasn't enough.

That life full of sunlight,
Then clouds of faded gray.
I know I said I'd call...
Lord, I let you float away.
Other women, the softest words.
How they went along.
I think of you at odd hours.
Hiding from the dawn.
The way we cut each other,
(Pretending)
Ancient lies we all build on.
I hope wherever you are now,
(Me long forgotten)
You still can love someone.
