August Nights

For those who ever had a love, maybe forbidden- yet irresistible.  You just had to see that love through-even if it would end.

we knew a time of innocence
before the sun became a dirty blur
there was passion and refuge 
and those memories they still burn.

our breath and the heat they were the same
we'd spin and we'd soar, you'd scream my name
hand in hand we ran through the night
my best friend in the jealous moon light
we'll never know that innocence again

our young hands knew each other well
heated kisses shook us to our core
in those jasmine scented summer nights
behind your bedroom door

then the sky grew dirty
as the hourglass stood still
their gossip grew louder
as cicadas sang on our windowsill

and we were running in the night
beneath that jealous moonlight
didn't matter where we'd go
love changed everything inside of us
we were just too young to know
