The summer we were

It's been two years since I've been back to that place

Even longer since I've seen your face

Do you remember, it's where we first embraced?


We used to love swimming in the lake

Whiles our hidden feelings slowly awake

Then in our first kiss we partake


You laughed and told me I couldn't get to the top of the tree

And when I slipped and fell you were there to catch me

You were always there when I needed you to be


We always said we'd take to the sea and go sailing one day

Someplace no one could find us, someplace far, far away.

But we never really got to have our way


I remembered the day you proposed

Your clever idea was to hide the ring in a rose

I laughed when I sniffed it and the ring touched my nose


I was looking forward to being with you for the rest of my life

I'm blessed that I even got a day of being your wife

I'm angry that our wedding day was the day you lost your life


I promised that I'll always be there for you

And you promised that you'll always be there when I needed you to

So forgive me if I'm unable to move on without you
