Reflections of Sorrow

As I enjoy a drive to the lovely sea shore

Warm afternoon sunlight caresses my cheek

I can feel the cool breeze

As I shuffle through thoughts for the words that I seek

I remember one spring day

You wrote me a poem

And of the love you'd bestow on me

To welcome me home

Now as I watch the sun glisten

On waves that come crashing to shore

I would love to bare my heart to you

But I fear in telling you more

Because even tho' we're as close

As ever two lovers can get

And I knew that we'd marry each other

From the very first moment we met

It is hard for me to tell you how sad that I feel

For I fear you won't think

That my sorrow is real

I want for us once again to feel free

To enjoy our love the way it used to be

I'd like to lean against a palm tree

And feel the grass beneath my toes

We could walk into the gardens

And stop to smell the boquet of a rose

As I hear the birds singing

Their sweet melodious song

I remember the love we once shared

And all I really want is for us to get along.
