Boy and Girl

I feel my mind go wondering back And let the years unfold To when I first met you When we were just eleven years old So innocent and young we were Just holding hands together When we shared our first kiss I thought you’d stay with me forever But then as we grew up I left behind my school girl days It broke my heart to turn our backs And go our separate ways And as the years passed by I tried to put you from my mind For I had family ties now Leaving memories far behind But you and I had something That forever would be there A love that grew from innocence That no one else could share And though I tried forgetting In my heart you did remain For deep inside I knew one day Our paths would cross again We couldn’t hide our feelings Though we both knew it was wrong For we were man and woman now The boy and girl had gone But deep inside we’d always known That 'we' could never be While you were tied to someone else I had my family So once again you walk away But never will you know The sadness and the pain inside The tears I'll never show The heartache that will stay with me Until the day I die For you will always be the love I lost Who said goodbye...
