A common love story that is completely unique

A single meeting

the gaze was fleeting

sparked a light

for us to fight

That first time

was so sublime 

to the hollow 

that followed

Everything was perfect

our hearts still erect

In the field of snow and ice

that would lead us slowly to demise

But of course we didn't know

And hand in hand at fence post row.

We shared that magic kiss

for both of us a first

so things progressed 

as they must

and time and distance between us was thrust

That last night on the brink

I see it when I blink

Our hearts were ringing

our bodies singing

as we danced

away romance

into decay

The stars stole you away

but our love was their to stay

growing more and more each day

until it died

And time isn't healing a single thing

just playing with my heart

taking away all feeling

And the way you smile

it's getting old

But i'm sure you've been told

already.

And my heart is still a flutter

when I stutter 

out a simple greeting.

The worst bit.

In this real tight fit

is that I know for a fact

despite my own silly pact

is the events that have happened here 

will happen again

soon I fear.
