blind.
his memory is short
and love is always over in the morning
but wind won't come to carry me away
rather push the memory aside
little do you know,
little one
you will have to face it
sooner than you realize
it captures you completely off guard
and even though you've worked hard at being
flame retardant
some things burn on

a flash of a memory
smiling under the sun
hand in hand
twilight kisses
lust, lies and compromise

but it was sweet
like a bouquet of flowers and too much candy

the rain picks up and you can think
if you can withstand the pain of loss and longing
and still dance beneath the stars
with a heart that's light
and a smile that's sincere

I forgive indiscretions
I forgive myself for giving in and
being pulled under
you're not weak, child
you are stronger than you know
