For Her

I write this song in memory
of a woman that I knew
she loved me much and I loved her
but then she never knew
and I was forced to go away
there was nothing I could say
I had to leave that very day
for almost two years or more

and now she’s gone and I am left
with memories of her breast
and days of life and nights of love
and all the wondrous rest
I shan’t forget
and the effect
it isn’t even finished yet
it started ‘fore we’d barely met
ten long years ago
yesterday
