9 Years
You passed by again
A shout out the window to the memory of me
Nostalgia filling your mind
Music and memories filling your heart
Too long has it been
Since I felt your strong arms
As I nestled my ear to your chest Your heart beating in perfect 4/4 time
Everything was perfect in our little world
Nothing has been perfect since
But my heart remembers dancing
My skin remembers the burn
My soul remembers soaring
My body still longs
After 9 years
How can the memory be so fresh
