We’re not keeping count
Of all the love we made
Of all the fun we had
All the money we saved
I can’t remember names
Let alone the days
Can’t recall who said what
But I do remember you
And every time I do
My heart goes up in flames
You’re like a carving
In an Ogham stone
Even though the words are lost
When I touch you I know I’m home
Play cards to keep us occupied
Drink a glass or three
Walk the dog down by the beach
Beside you I feel free
We don’t wear masks at Halloween
The fireworks make us start
The bonfires burn all night long
Beacons fighting back the dark
And one of us will be engulfed
A ghost
A dream
A lost embrace
If it’s me I’ll remember you
My heart goes up in flames
