Your face cutting through the thickness of the summer air

I could smell you, you smelt of patchouli and whisky

Your shirt thin enough to rile me

I remember, because I was enthralled

I had it all

 

We drank french doubles

A recipe for trouble

Our laughter must have wakened the dead

But we didn’t care

We were the only ones there

Images of you filled my head

 

Giggles in the garage

Whose was it?

I guess we will never know

We didn’t care

We were the only ones there

And our lust was in full throe

 

A night given to passion

In a hotel room full of Parisian fashion

The street below echoed – bellowed with revelers

Drinking in the summer night

But we didn’t care

We were holding each other

The rest of the world was out of sight

 

You fulfilled my need

I satisfied your greed

For love

I was your muse

You ignited the fuse

We had nothing to lose

 

The morning after

The night before

Hedonistic

Sheets crumpled

A work of art

Oh, what a wonderful start!

 

Time has passed

Life has taken us

Down many a road

Our story continues

To unfold

We’ve had a blast

 

I still love you

You are my best friend

I will be yours

Until the end
