An OLd Flame

An old song
Drifting along from nowhere,
Reminding me of a night long ago,
Jasmine blooming in the park,
Bits of music drifting across the lake,
Dreams, longings, whispered words,
First love, hope, plans
And the whole world - all ours,
Stars, soul - all aglow,
Nothing ever like this,
Blush of youth, passion
And desire on her face,
A night of a million promises,
Long ago, long ago...
