Holding hands beneath the autumn trees
Let go, they parted company
And walked down very different streets
She glanced back at him
As he disappeared from view
He carried on, his head bowed low
But he felt her eyes on him, she knew
She didn't know however
That he thought his heart would break
She didn't know he'd long for her
Every morning when he'd wake
She didn't know he'd think of her
Everytime he saw a butterfly
Or smelled the sea air near his home
And wished that she was by his side
He didn't know she'd kept every letter
That he wrote, she read
And re read every word
She kept his photo in her coat
He didn't know she searched
Amongst the crowds for his face
He didn't know she'd kept his number
All this time, just in case
What they both knew however
Is that they'd never meet again
Their love was brief but passionate
Yet blissful memories remain.
