Strolling through our quiet garden
Dreams of you flit through my mind
Reading a tattered, old love letter
Crinkled and yellow with the folds of time
My heart is warm with gentle memories
The ebbing sunlight teases my face
Thoughts of love transport my being
To a different time and place
A vision appears in the misty moonlight
Where we stand with arms entwined
My tear-filled eyes gazing into yours
As you promised to always be mine
I still remember how my heart fluttered
Ah, just the thought of it brings a smile
Welcoming all those strange awakenings
For by your touch, I was so beguiled
Our hearts shared a love everlasting
And a passion that has never waned
So, in my placid garden of sweet solitude
I'm waiting breathlessly till I see you again
