With the Hopes That Our Paths Will Cross Once More

Here I walk alone down a distant shore, Watching the sunset, as clouds drift away, With the hopes that our paths will cross once more. My mind feels empty and my nerves feel sore, Wishing to meet again some other day, Here I walk alone down a distant shore. Recalling how my heart sank to the floor, Not knowing exactly what I should say, With the hopes that our paths will cross once more. You turned away, and then walked out the door, Even after I had begged you to stay, Here I walk alone down a distant shore. I keep walking, my tears begin to pour, Wondering what sort of price I must pay, With the hopes that our paths will cross once more. I remember promises we once swore, And yet, you are not here with me today. Here I walk alone down a distant shore, With the hopes that our paths will cross once more. © 2020
