An Abrupt Departure

When I first laid eyes on you time stood still,
you made me feel like love was possible.
Our instant connection was such a thrill,
I thought finding you was impossible 

Prior to finding you, I kissed some frogs,
hoping that my prince would quickly appear.
You didn’t show, my besties were my two dogs,
when we first met love, I felt hope and fear.

But our union was to good to be true;
because fate had not been our side sweetheart. 
You were a young pilot and skies were blue,
the weather changed and we had to depart.


We’ll meet again in the heavenly skies,
that’s why I don’t believe in sad goodbyes.
