YESTERDAYS LOVE
Some time ago, within a memory
deep in my dark, and most forbidden past,
when I recall the way you came to me
from out the dark--with love that could not last!

Nor would we ever have such love today--
such great delight--but wicked from the start,
it's in the past--and there must always stay,
but just a trace is here--to warm my heart;

so I can call--to mind--if late at night
when love seems not to be what love should be,
and I can feel in me, with great delight--
your love again--and all it was to me.

Here-in I be--in love with loving you
in this--my life--that time has brought me to.
