The Coral Vine

Now I imagine her hair white
Still as thick as a coral vine
Once you’re touched by true beauty
You’re forever intertwined
I’ve almost forgotten her smile
On the last night
She was screaming at me
Survival can derail sweet life
I begged her not to leave me
I was too proud to believe her
I was too afraid to believe in her
Anita watching your vines
Watching you climb over anything
Been gone such a long time
But you kept my heart
As my sacrifice
I still remember the first time
Almost caught in the candle light
We kept cheating death's touch
Nothing short of divine
I never quite had control
Was it real life
Or were we dreaming out loud
Desires not enough to change
Fate is safe from intervening
I was too proud to believe it
Now it’s too late to repeat it
Bloom lover bloom lay down on my box
To remind me of the love I lost
Bloom baby bloom for all the world
Too magical to be my only girl
