IN THE YEAR OF YOU

IN THE YEAR OF YOU In the year of you my time was spent among days and days of happiness * Of all the ways that seemed to come like bees do to a honey swarm, * From an endless love that knew no bounds like winds inside a violent storm * But when you weregone, I was leftcontent, by my vivid dreams that came and went. * As time went by, they began to fade like handwriting on an old book's page * But I willed those movies to play again, by using closed eyelids for my screen. * That was before, when I, still a maid, had not yet known, the sting of betrayed! * Now everything I felt back then, is back to haunt me, like a boomerang! * To cease alldreams would be my plan, but I can't stop what my mind began! * In these days of now, It's become quite plain, my reckless plansnow a run-away train!
