Brief Encounter

I saw you out the other day And my heart skipped a beat, One of those moments I can say Where I paused and beat a retreat And walked away downbeat. I thought of the deep love we had Moonlight walks on the beach, The times when we were both so glad; The good times now so out of reach Where love was just a peach. I remember your laugh, your eyes, The wrinkle in your nose. When we walked with the good and wise. Now in the past, how time just goes. How swift came love’s death throes. Yes, I miss your soft lips, your kiss, Your lovely sweet embrace Yes, all those things I sadly miss, Gazing upon your gentle face You were so full of grace. But you fell for another’s charm And your heart turned to frost And love had lost its soothing balm To such, such, a terrible cost, And I felt Oh so lost.
