I dressed up for you my heart and allowed it to sing
About all of the musings that you once did bring
During a season of love that surpassed any affair
We threw caution away and there was nothing that we feared
Our love was too keen and set in its ways
It allowed for no compromise, we were caught in a daze
The fabrics of our souls were entwined at our very core
And we realized all the sunsets at our disposal, there was no discord
The illusion of happiness that we so gravely kept close
The feeling that we never felt any unnecessary remorse
For lost time in the past when we did not prevail
In overcoming our fears, for not being able to inhale
We lived and breathed our union, so alive and so free
So characterized by its depth that kept us together, lovingly
But as the season changed and our love had run its course
We no longer pursued what we once had passionately enforced
Our summer of romance flew by and our love left a trail
Of broken dreams and disillusions that could have prevailed
Over meddling circumstances that called for the cessation
Of our collaborative effort to make love a declaration
A commitment and faith that was torn apart
For a different path, a different journey, or a different start
So we ended up on terms that we had no choice but to allow
And our differences tore us from the truth of our vows
I used to cling to the memory of what could have been
It is now a slight nostalgia, it is not akin to losing a limb
So as time marches on I smile when I see
How that marvelous summer of romance did wonders for me
I move forward now with a hunger that is even truer than before
And I muster up the courage to once again enter through love's door
