Last Evening

We met when we were only small
In mornings you would for me call
We said that we would never part
But now each has a breaking heart

You in your world, I in mine
Paths diverged, but hearts aligned
Promises made, lives intertwined
In this moment, love confined

Our last evening's at an end
Two hearts ache, our souls do rend
One last whisper, you I'll miss
Goodbye my love, one final kiss

We talk of dreams, and days gone by
Laughter mingles with a sigh
In your eyes, I see the past
A love so pure, but time won't last

Our hands touch, a soulful glance
In this final, silent dance
Promises to others have been made
We must obey yet be dismayed

Our last evening's at an end
Two hearts ache, our souls do rend
One last whisper, you I'll miss
Goodbye my love, one final kiss

The moonlight casts a tender glow
On a love we must let go
With heavy hearts, we face the dawn
Knowing soon, we'll both be gone

Our last evening's at an end
Two hearts ache, our souls do rend
One last whisper, you I'll miss
Goodbye my love, one final kiss

As morning breaks, we say farewell
With stories only we can tell
Our love is lost, but memories are true
As both our ways are set anew
