Five Days

FIVE DAYS

I remember when you held my hand,
the touch of our skin, like sugar and sand.
The warmth from your body, the cold of the night,
the pain in my heart, could only feel right.

There were times in those days I would just stand alone,
watching the sea throw itself at the shore,
I Wondered if I should just dive right in,
swim until I couldn't swim any more.

You were a dream from out of the sandstorm,
rising up to blind me from all I could see.
The sting in my eyes, it still makes me cry,
And the hope in my heart still keeps you with me.

And when we were together, the power between us,
so true and so full, could not be replaced.
though I tried to move on, It was never to be.
Because not even time could forget your face.

A memory so true, it can never be shared,
some things can't be told, like the smell of her hair.
Or the feelings we burned, as the days slipped away,
and the need that I felt, as I longed just to stay.

So find your own island, and make your own dreams,
the feelings you have, only you'll really see.
And I hope that your days last longer then mine,
And that they are enough to fill a lifetime.

And we had five days, that's all we had.
Five days stranded together, five days alone.
And once five days were over, we'd forget what we did.
Five days in the past, time to go home.
