Parallel

They met at the park garden
On a crisp winter's day
It was love at first sight
And she knew it well

They met at a park garden
On a freezing winter's day
It was love at first sight
But doubt was in her mind

They danced and courted all year long
With laughter, warmth and love
She knew there was no other
And held on him tight

They danced and courted all year long
With laughter, whispers and secrets
But she wondered for more
And eventually let him go

They travelled the world together
Experiencing all sights and wonders
She met all kinds of new people
But none quite like him

She travelled the world alone
Watching all the sights and wonders
She met all kinds of new people
But none quite like him

Happiness abound around them
Experiencing life together
There was no greater joy
No greater love

Despair was all around her
Trudging through life alone
There was no greater sorrow
No greater mistake

Years have now gone by
Yet there is still love in her eyes
And peace in her heart
Together and forever, always

The years have now passed by me
Leaving nothing but sadness in my eyes
And regret in my heart
Alone and forever, always.
