A Dashing Young Knight

A dashing young knight from days of ole,
Who captured my heart and and touched my soul.
He would speak such words of love that would  take my breath away,
And promised he would take me to his mountains one day.
It doesn't seem that long ago, yet it's been twenty plus
Years he's been gone  and for why I still don't know.
I continued on with a broken heart,
Wondering why  and what I had done  to caused us to part.
And then he appeared one day,
He said he had no choice  he had to leave and there was no other way.
He was sorry he hurt me and promised  to  tell me one day.
And  so I wait patiently for the reason he left
But more than that why he came back to me.
