Aloha, a Lament

When I was young, I fell in love With the trade winds blowing softly through your hair Our joy, our tears, my childish dreams So intoxicated by the perfumed air In that morning, lover, so soft and fair Take me back to the first moment that we met In the gentle rise of the mountains there I will cherish you and I will not forget You drew me close, you gave me names As only the heart can do, we swung and swayed But your love was made for only you You don't need me, though I long for you each day In the glare of daylight So pure and bright I remember every contour of your face But the sun goes down and the evening comes Have I lost you, can I come back to this place? I grew up in the shade of you Still believing that you'd love me till the end But hearts move on and winds, they change I returned to lose my lover and my friend So goodnight, my someone, my only home Close your eyes now in your fervent golden glow Sleep you sweetly now as I yearn for you In my heart for always, I can't let you go You have made sure I won't love again So be cruel as you wash me from your shores
