Memory hurts – our hearts are stung
But sometimes I think the pain is for
Not a particular place but more
A special time – when we were young
For freer days when we knew hope
And what we felt we had was – scope.
You beside me on the balcony
The dark Aegean sea at dawn
And ouzo and water and cigarettes...
Tomorrow came and went
The future slipped away
I spent my time intent...
