It's Not the Same

Familiar surroundings

Echoes still sounding

From the songs that played

While the island swayed

We moved like the ocean

With faith and devotion

Then our love fell

And we both knew well

So I started walking

With whom I was talking

I'll never remember her name

As darkness was falling

I'd swear you were calling

I turned

But it wasn't the same

I almost called out your name

The hours were unending

We seemed to be spending all those precious hours

Counting stars and flowers

Now you're returning

Just when I'm learning that we're not a pair

Though we both have cared

And I was reminded

By the times I was blinded

In hopes that you still would be there

Recounting our brief love

Was all I could think of

Maybe I'll find it somewhere

But at times

It all seems so unfair
