Like a half forgotten song.
Misty, watercolour memories,
Of a time when love and laughter
Filled two hearts.
Sharing simple pleasures with friends,
No cares to worry our minds.
Thoughtless for the future.
Enough to just be together
Under summer skies
Unspoken, the bonds we made,
A promise understood.
Apart, but still together
Letters bridge the miles between
and hope remains.
A few words badly phrased, unmeant.
She thinks I want another.
Too late I make reply,
She wishes us well.
There is no us.
Two hearts in pain, oceans apart,
Each finds someone to hold
a solace for the loss
of a love that never flowered
from the bud.
Half a lifetime later, together again
even for only a day.
We are young once more,
feelings we thought lost
make us sadly smile.
Neither can break the promises made.
But our love remains,
never to be fulfilled.
Unless in another life
our song begins again.
