Expressions - Valentine's Day

I remember our footsteps on the wet sand
The waves chasing my dreams...
Or was it my dreams chasing the waves?
I am not too sure or I wasn't paying any attention.
Your hands holding mine, gripped my heart a little too tight.
I always knew love hurt when in pain...
I then realized it can also hurt when in ecstasy.
Soothing was your shadow, following me like a reflection of myself.

Time stood still within my mind as I imprisoned the memories.
And weaved them into secret dreams I'd need for the future.
When you're gone, and I can still hear and smell you...
When you're gone, and I can still feel and kiss you...
All I have is concocted hallucinations to keep me alive, and I knew
Every night I'll make love to you... and wake up to Valentine's Day!!!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

Keep the Cheer!!!

Can we love again? what about first love? can we ever forget how we felt then? love is a puzzle...

First will stay forever... no doubts about that...
But yes, we are capable of loving again, with time. And again, Time doesn't heal nothing... it only helps tolerate pain better ;)
