Her Eyes

She fluttered into my life
And when I looked into her eyes
I saw my past
Parade before me

I felt the feelings
That I thought had died
When I looked into her eyes
Piercing me now

I wondered why she’d come
Said I called her name
But I’ve been silent for so many years
Guess I’d left her long ago

I may have forgotten
But, oh, the stillness of love
The light through the night
Warms the chill of a broken heart

I would say from this point on
I’d never forget again
But I’m a human
Flawed and, well
Forgetful
