He was nine
She was ten
They held hands
Way back then
Times did come
And times did pass
And now once again
In your sleep
I hold your hand
As in our childhood past
Our love has crossed
Many lives
Many waves on foreign shores
My wave would break
Your wave behind
You followed me
And broke upon
My shore
Two waves crashed
Lost in the sands of time
An hourglass
And both our waves
Tore us asunder
The roaring of the seas
As I stood upon the shore
Those foamy waves
Our cry of love
From oceans deep
My wave receded
Back into the depths
Of my past
You followed my heart
Two waves on Alien shores
I was nine
And you were ten
Remember when
We held hands back then
An aged mind
Reanimates ghosts
Ghosts from my past
Crushing waves
Crushing lips
Do I love you?
Yes and always will
You have no name
But still our love is real
Your gentle touch
Your lips on mine
Your beauty stirs my mind
Memories of other times
Other lives
Naive and beautiful
You were mine
You were ten
And I was nine
I was the diver
From above
You the tiny mermaid
From the deep
I dived the oceans depths
For you my childhood dream
I dived for treasures
That made you weep
And now on sands
Of alien shores
A boy of nine
A diver from the deep
Places a circle of pearls
Around the neck
Of a girl so sweet
A girl of ten
When I was nine
For you are my memories
My memory of a young boys love
The world is yours
I am the oyster
You are the pearl
You are mine
In a little boys memory
An old man’s mind
