only for a moment

only for a moment
as the rain fell on my face
your body long and lean
played on my memory

it was winter once more
i was lying in your arms
that fireplace ablaze
so far away that place
once was known as laurel farms

i was still so unsure
reaching for you in the night
words so softly spoken
as your heart beat close to mine

then the sun came shining
warmed the sand beneath my feet
as quickly as you came
i felt you leave my memory
