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
