Listen my children, and you shall hear,
A story of a tale neither far nor near
Of two children with a secret love
But one has sadly risen too high above
Stuck in an Earth without her heart
How will they ever learn to live apart?
The girl with the dark curls,
The boy with the watercolor eyes
Their connection rare as pearls
An object of which people prize
Blue piercing stares
Meet shining-teeth smile
Each make the other forget all their cares
Even the visits less than five felt worthwhile
Each letter he’d send, the words on his tongue
Made his heart burst and not feel so young
Every time, a question was asked
Will you love me even when our time has passed?
But so soon came the day
When he must move away
He went to her home to say
“I’m moving away,
Right after May
You won’t see me again
But I’m glad I knew you, because you were always my best friend”
What she would never know
Was that his heart will always glow
And he will always yearn for her
As the waves will wash with wind on the sand
And the memories of her will always be a distant blur
