When a name defines an era

A soul mate once said to me, "If someone were to look around in my mind trying to find what memories and images are attached to what parts of my life, I really don't know where you would not be. You even backdate because of all the past experiences pre-dating you that obtained new meanings due to you."

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before her name *
