I Remember (a song)

I remember
the feeling
all butterflies and smiling
landing
almost into the ocean

I remember
the feeling
all warmth and skin and wanting
landing
into your arms again

There was so much longing
wanting, missing
for all those whispered years
There were so many
airplanes and airports
and
so many salty tears

I remember
the dreaming
all perfect lives and picket fences
landing
almost into my dreams

I remember
the dreaming
all laughter and a family
landing
almost into the truth

There was so much longing
wanting, missing
for all those whispered years
There were so many
airplanes and airports
and
so many salty tears

Now that that’s the past
and fantasies don’t last
what’s come to be
is yet more sweet and true -
it’s the precious, dreamed-for life
of loving you.
