My love, I write with long forgotten words
Re-kindle ing the feelings in my heart
Perhaps this spark will light a smouldering flame
Although I doubt I know just where to start.
You are my life-long love. You know that much
I stand beside you now as in the past
Bitter storms and age leave only mem’ries
But love and trust between us still holds fast
The ship we dreamed of tossed us out to sea
We lay exhausted on the pebbled shore
Our passion spent, we look to one another
And doubt that we can do this any more.
Stay strong my love. We have to keep afloat
And bail the water from our leaky boat.
