I Remember Heide

Love was all around

Warmth was the only sound I could hear

When Heide was near

Now that she's not around

Cold is the only sound

Black is the color

Of my day

I remember Heide

At the summer home, we played love's games

And in the sand, we would run

Hand-in-hand

I remember Heide

I could touch her anytime, and in any place

She'd just sigh and pull me close

And we'd run off somewhere and make love

And that's the way it should be

I remember Heide

I can see her eyes

Her lashes look like tiny ribbons, frayed

I remember Heide

On yesterday's pages, she wrote to me

Some happy hours, she said she loved me

Heide loved me
