Alone again thinking of you
Memories flow when love was new
Sunrises and sunsets defined our fun
Picnics, walks, feeding ducks in the sun
Conversation absent as eyes remain transfixed
Lovers forever, before than immutable statistic

Tell me your thoughts, I won’t get too near
Protect boundaries one holds so dear
Trust was elusive when first we met
More comfortable now when eyes are wet
Lay your head on my shoulder one last time
Remember when you were mine

Don’t tarry now or you’ll be late
New beginnings and joy now await
To blot out the ugliness that lingered before
We chose to stop loving and closed the door
Sad that our efforts were in vain
First loves are special, others not the same

Go now and leave me be
Alone with my thoughts of you and me
I loved you once when time stood still
To think otherwise would tarnish goodwill
Think of me on a sunny day
When life was simple and we chose to play
