There’s a place by the water where we used to meet
Where we exchanged dreams and your kisses were so sweet
Now it’s a valley where I rest when life’s roads feel too steep
And I miss you
I sit by the water and watch the ripples pass me by
Let the past entwine me and the memories amplify
Sometimes I almost hear your voice in the rivers gentle sigh
It’s true
I wonder what could have been if you were still with me
But fate had decided that we were not destined to be
A speeding car and a driver drunk led to calamity
And you were gone
That was so many years ago, yet here in this special place
I can almost touch you, see the sun upon your face
You touched my heart and soul, and your touch left a trace
You were the one
Now I’m much older but you are forever young
A love snatched from me just as it had begun
The melody of our life was never to be sung
That’s so wrong
But here in this place with the river running through
I still dream of the things that we were going to do
And the sounds of the birds makes me smile too
Their singing our song

Thanks for reading!
One always wonders what would have been if something had not happened but you do have those treasured memories.

I felt the pain in this. I’m so sorry.
