We Met At the Crossroads

We met at the crossroads A border between us Enjoying the chill in the air Maple leaf whispers Where no one could listen Feelings our hearts longed to share Poetic sunsets In hibiscus shimmers Dreams sent adrift on the sea Firefly kisses Alone in the twilight So much in love, you and me Then in a wind storm The leaves began swirling A cloud in the sky did appear Blocking the sunlight The warmth of our passion Filling my body with fear You started walking A different direction Down on my knees I just fell No sense in praying For you were my heaven And now life for me became hell Some days I wonder Well, honestly always If I ever cross through your mind Do you remember Our moments together And all of the love we did find We met at the crossroads A border between us That day I will never forget But now I sit lonely My poor heart is broken Reliving the day that we met
