The History of Hearts


The History of Hearts

The things she never knew were left
Behind her the past that traveled so quickly
Like a speeding train it sped right by her
Never knowing what his heart wanted to impress

Peace will find him, but not for a while
The young girl on the platform waves goodbye
Her raincoat glistens in the darkness
Caught in the stormy rain

Forever searching to find that girl
She never ventured back
An opportunity lost, two lives changed forever
History, life, tracks, laid to the past
But fate isn’t finished yet, the tale isn’t told
For fate has another card to play
Light shines on the platform of the darkened evening
Once more she stands and waits

To hear his words, his feelings conveyed
Two lives on separate tracks
One story complete, a happy ending relayed
Life’s train delivered her back

For he waited and searched for his girl on the train
To ask her for her hand
He told her all those long lost words
The words she longed to hear

But time doesn’t wait and life keeps moving
A story beckons on
Life needs to keep pursuing adventure
While adventure carries on

He stands on the platform and waves at the woman
Who stands before him now
A smile on their faces, a heart in their hand
They travel off to separate lands

Regret for a day of untold feelings
A longing left to wait
For waiting left them to wonder forever
The history of two hearts
