More Than The Color Purple

Time has twisted and turned
So that I've lost my way
And I can only lose so much
Before I'm left with empty hands
I've got copper in my veins
The copper from his kiss
The taste of which, just won't fade...
And I love him more than the color purple
More than the sweet smell of rain
I love him more than all of my childhood memories
Even though, by now, this love should have faded away
Yet, everytime I close my eyes, I see his face
And his memory is everywhere I look
The warm breeze...
A sweet, sad song...
A simple phrase...
So much can evoke his voice
In my mind
Because of that, always, always he is with me
And, if it wasn't for the absence of his flesh
I would think him always by my side
