You will remember

You will remember a day
         and you will remember a night
perhaps several days
         perhaps many nights
You will remember
         whether the sun shone
on that day
         or whether the moon
was full on that night
         You will remember a kiss
perhaps many kisses
         out on the street
or in the intimacy
         of our room
You will remember the love
         that special love that never dies
a love that the days
         and months and years
can never erode
         a love woven into the fabric
of your heart
         a love inseparable
from your dreams
         You will cling to that love
as to your very life
         because your life
and your love
         are one and the same
