Sitting beside the window pane
I wandered around the memory lane
Springing from the midnight dark
you struck my heart like a spark
The pain surged as tears rolled
saw you smiling on top of the world
I screamed as you started moving
but you faded away so uncaring
I ran behind you like a cart
still finding you a mile apart
You stopped and fleered at me
kneeling down I gazed you only
Your eyes as clear as sunshine
saying you naive lover of mine
Then you vanished in my mind
and I felt the cold dawn wind
Wiping my tears I saw the sun
that never forgets to move on.
