Yassar Ali - At First Sight

2014-11-08 79

Clouds have cleared to colour the sky blue
Whilst leaves have turned red since I last saw you
The seasons have changed yet am still the same
Same man, same feelings and still the same aim
The aim of being in your presence once again
For without you I question whether or not am sane
The sun has risen from the east and set in the west
Yet these eyes of mine never did want to rest
As I walk in the midst of the crowd all alone
I walk with aches in my body as I have grown
I guess I get better with time just like fine wine
A million miles away from reality I appear offline
As I see a pearl amongst the crowd in all white
Like a firefly she's filled my empty life with light
The smile that sets my heart ablaze is here
Our hazel eyes meet and sink in love as we near
We're face to face as I look into the eyes of grace
Tears in her eyes as she touches my aging face
I close my eyes as I begin to feel her tender touch
Inexplicable feelings as my heart she begins to clutch
Pulling me near as I hear a symphony crystal clear
She whispered her thoughts into my ear
'After we parted I felt completely empty
But now you've come and completed me'
Praying this embrace will last so that we never part
For she's the only remedy for this pain in my heart
I feel her lips on my neck for the very first time
With hearts beating faster her lips then met mine
It was as though as we had a lack of air
As I ran my hands through her fine silky hair
Old age reflected on my weary face
But with her age apparently left no trace
