We had too short a seasonToo short a showThere was no good reasonWhy you had to goBury my nose in the sheetsWear your clothesand wear your shoesTo keep you nearLeft your room untouched for yearsTo keep you close to meWe had too short a seasonThe years hurried byThere was no good reasonTo slip away that nightYour breath arrestedThis is my skinYour touch breathes in the windThe waves recall your voiceThe ocean keeps you closeWe had too short a seasonToo short for our loveThere was no good reasonWhy the light burned so lowWith your last words pleadingLift the world to kinder heightsAnd keep the dark heatedThere's more to this than just one lieIn my dreams you'll always stay my loveA flower shining gay
