Ice Cream

You asked, as if the answer weren't obvious
What do you want, I heard it clearly

What did I give, I ask myself now
How can I want if I don't give of myself
Now it's clear, what the future holds
As clear as if it has already happened

As the lust clears like the smoke
From yesterday's battlefield
I see the collateral damage
From the friendly fire

The jumble of sheets and pillows
The smell of love and passion


Yes, we gave that to each other
In the dark of night and the light of day
But what I will remember forever, long after
The memories of the lust have faded like the smoke

Walking through the grass, fingers
Entwined and bodies close
Licking our ice cream cones on a sunny day
I want pistachio next time
