Walk Away

I remember the first day that we met
It was cold and very wet
I was not what you’d expect
But you seem delighted with what you get

The day went by so very fast
We talked of things from both our pasts
Under skies so overcast
We wondered if we could make it last

You tell secrets, as do I
Things we’ve kept from prying eyes
Things we feel, we don’t deny
That’s the bound, the one that ties

In a lot of ways we are same
Mind and hearts now set aflame
Knowing now it’s not a game
A bond has formed, we now are changed

It’s time to part and go our ways
We hug, we promise, hopes convey
One last kiss under skies of gray
We turn around and walk away
