Tender

I can still smell the scent of her
Just an effervescent memory
that lingers on my skin
when we kissed on the stairwell  
 
You made me feel alive
now I am lost
in the vagaries of love
fading into time
as the river of our destiny
is swept out to sea
 
Sometimes I dream of you
bathing in the water
the reflection of your beauty
spills into my heart
 
I don't like the thought of you
being with another man
it makes me feels so helpless
but I know you can't resist
the passion between us
 
All I want is to fill this void with love
but all I feel is pain
 
You played with my heart
Why should I love again?
