We sure did run
fast and free,
together
you and me,
side by side.
Pace in the same,
step for step,
in like direction,
with perfect harmony,
to a spot on the horizon,
growing closer every day,
and my heart became so full,
and fuller in every way,
as my dreams,
they did come close.
I just never dreamt
they could slip away.
So I was running,
with you by side,
but for a second
you lost your stride,
as I looked the other way,
and when I looked back,
to tell you, I love you,
you had gone away,
and I spoke to empty air,
that rang in hollow sound,
for my love had gone away,
with but me around,
alone, with no you, the part of me,
my dreams were built around.
