Love Lost London

How did we say it all began my love In a church with a shot and an unnecessary glove I was the marksman who caught your eye I was the boy where you felt your heart lie We’d sit for hours never whispering a word Time together went so quickly, silence unheard We would connect for hours on end This was a true connection, not pretend Years on, we left Cape Town for London Adventure and living together under one sun Finding each other on our love journey Navigating the waters that never seemed murky We got married and then engaged A different set of rules for the lovers of age Travelled the world on our foreign invasion Me, not making every experience an positive occasion I let you down so many, many times Pulled you into a world of my temper crimes This was not the place for you Destroyed our love uttering more than a word or two I should have loved you more I failed you so many times before I exhausted all my second chances Now rejecting my all and last advances
