I Saw You Then

I saw you then,

In the corner of the room.

A mystic zen

Filled the shadows of my heart.

I looked at you,

I knew all I felt would die

As my tongue got lost

In the infiniteness of lie.

I saw years pass

Through my mind’s eye,

As in a flash,

I saw us die.

Hand in hand,

And heart in heart.

Void of sand,

The hourglass art.

I knew that day,

My heart felt warm.

And in some way,

It had been healed.

Though I knew my love

Had been a ghost before,

That day it was alive,

In endless soar.

I would not repeat

The errors of the past.

My heart, living heat,

Was its truest at last.

I loved you then,

The soul I felt,

An endless pen,

Of my eyes as they welt.
