Once it bloomed, a love so rare

So delicate and gentle, beyond compare

Its beauty and grace, a wonder to behold

A flame that burned, with a heart so bold

*

But time and fate, were not so kind

And this love, now struggles to find

Its place in a world, that's moving fast

Leaving behind, memories of the past

*

The last goodbye, to what once was

A love so rare, now in the past

Its memory lives on, in hearts so true

But its light has faded, away from view

*

A love so rare, now lost to time

A beauty once seen, now hard to find

But though it's gone, its memory still shines

In the hearts of those, who loved it divine.
