As I sit here alone In the silence of night I drift off into memories That keep me upright The walls may be cold But my heart starts to glow When I think of the love That I've come to know Three memories rise Like moons that align Each time they appear It's like the first time They circle my mind They steady my soul They're pieces of us That have made me whole The first takes me back To that wide dirt lot A moment in time I've never forgot You walked with the wind Blowing brown strands of long hair Your black skirt in motion A smile beyond compare I stepped in your path My breath caught in place I whispered your name As I studied your face The second still burns From the heat of that day The sun overhead Lots of brush in our way A spray can in hand Full of rebellion and fire Each heartbeat a rush Each glance a desire Upon that brick wall With each chill brought a thrill I painted our truth Bold letters there still Reflection loves other half Forever to stay A mark of young passion No time could decay The third is your turn Down that trail that we'd roam Amongst the trees and the wind You carved out our home With a knife in your hand A bright spark in your eye You etched us in wood So our love would not die My rock, your tree The promise was clear A vow we will keep Year after year A hundred years forward Together we'd be You as my rock And I as your tree So here in this place Though distant, confined I live in these memories That play in my mind They soften the edges They quiet my pain They give me the strength To start living again For time can not steal What been written in flame No walls can erase The sound of your name Though steel bars surround me My spirit won't fall With you in my heart I've conquered it all
