The first time I saw you
Dressed in all black
You veered towards the darkness
Your habit, a knack
The opposite archetype
Me in all white
I stepped into your shadow
Felt something ignite

Late nights in Montreal you spoke of your past
Every new story a treasure
The L of your first name the C of your last
Are etched on my heart forever

You were fearsome and daunting
And I was naïve
But your words were transforming
This I could perceive
Slowly the middle
Is where we would meet
We forged a connection
Wholly complete

In the Chelsea Hotel there were questions I asked
Some things you could not remember
The L of your first name the C of your last
Are etched on my heart forever

I wait for the times
When you seem to find me
Calling me darling
Itu0027s like youu0027re beside me
Sometimes itu0027s more than I want to be feeling
Sometimes the thoughts bring me comfort and healing

More than a lover It was deeper than that
My poet, my killer, my brother
The L of your first name the C of your last
Are etched in my heart forever

The first time I saw you
Dressed in all black
