'El Gatto Negro, Revisited'

Lyric For 'M.F.P', By [R.M.]

I returned to where we once were

It's been a few years

Since we meet ourselves here

Your aura still lingers here

I see your afterglow

I remember your dark flowing hair

With your dark eyes

As the light danced inside them

You spoke to me in glimpses

As I drank my cappuccino's

By your red wine

You looked right through me

How your beauty entranced

Me so invitingly that night

How I lost myself by you

Days away, months ago

It's been more than a year, I know

I've stepped back in time

Talk to me like you did before

The cafe window is occupied

With strange new faces

To see you here, would make me whole again

Winter wind chills me

As I walk down College Street

Retracing your invisible footsteps

I look around your nowhere to be found

See me, embracing emptiness

Find me, thinking of you

As you left me, forever

Remembering you

2006 Roy Marques For 'M.F.P'.
