I met a boy I know not when
So long ago remember then
How is it that I can’t forget
Within this life a deep regret ?
I’ve turned a corner in my mind
While searching but I cannot find
The special closeness that we shared
And like most hopes were unprepared.
We did not meet, no not today
As other strangers had their way
And yet the past is always there
It mattered not how much we cared.
In all our dreams it’s far too late
No matter then how long we’d wait
The sadness that I can’t deny
We never got to say goodbye !
