The World Began To Turn

I remember that cloudless day in June
The world seemed new and young - as young as we.
We shared the beach with salt and gull and dune,
And we knew love as only love can be.
We made a pledge that June down by the sea
To always love and laugh - to share and learn.
And then our world slowly began to turn
To take us where we didn't want to go.
That fire once so warm does no longer burn -
But that love does not seem so long ago.
