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
