I remember the years that left wasted

I remember thinking there were so many ahead

I remember the smell of the rain in the window

And the smoke in my head

I remember the way I looked back then

I remember the musk in my home

I remember the life I had, the one the I dreamt of

I remember the shock realising it was gone

I remember you

And that day the world grew darker

For the light had left my heart

All that was pure had slipped through my fingers

And all love lay beyond my grasp
