Shadows of a memory dancing
skimping'¦ fleeting thought.
Was it just a feeling
or the love, I always sought?
Soft wings, just like velvet
fluttering'¦ touched my very being,
Was it really love or lust, or
something in between?

Did you really lay with me
was it your warm flesh I felt,
Or just another dream of love
to make a hard heart melt?
AH! perhaps t'was just a fantasy
that my wishes were fulfilled,
Did you hold me as I dreamed you would,
or were my childish dreams'¦ all spilled?

Slowly I wake up to life
realize it's all a dream.
A fleeting shadow after all
love's intensity'¦ extreme
Embrace life's compensation's
for the promises not kept.
Forgiving that which can't be helped
a lifetime'¦ as I slept.
