Misty Memories

I saw in the mist of the early mountain dawn
Brief moments of the time we had together

Sitting on the shore late at night in the moonlight
Talking of past joy, trying not to fight
You spoke of your new love, and played the old soul game
But you lied and never told me his name

And while we professed our love for each other
Our minds could not stop those thoughts of another
Which one would we hurt, playing our game
Did we really think things could ever be the same

We are made for each other was the final decision
So two hearts we broke with our callous derision
Selfish and horny, we made them both pay
For loving us, we broke their hearts the next day

And then when the guilt came, we merrily went
Down the wrong path again, we once again sent
Our lives to the turmoil of lies and deceit
One more in a line of bad choices so sweet

For our bodies can still not suppress the desire
That brought us to think that we still had the fire
To this day I remember the love that we shared
I wonder what is it that made you so scared

You're gone now, as surely as if you were dead
On our path of life you're way out ahead
Living large without chains and not looking back
I'm still here and moving like tortoise on track

I'll get past you one day as sure as you please
You're complacent and lazy when life is at ease
The mist on the mountain, the fire of your lust
Still blinds me with love, where there should be disgust
