I remember that night
The sweetness it brought
So easy to forget
The way I was caught
By a lovely surprise
In an unlikely place
By a rare brown eyed girl
With glitter on her face
With her generous heart
And her selfless demeanor
She broke down my walls
Before I had seen her
I had never before
Let my guard fall so low
I could never have guessed
The love that would flow
My steely old heart
Would finally glow
The days that would come
So warm and so bright
Her beautiful soul
So rich were our nights
She gave me so much
I had never received
But I didn’t deserve
Her heart on her sleeve
As time ticked away
I don’t know what went wrong
For reasons unknown
I couldn’t go on
A sensible man
Would have asked for her hand
Thoughts blurred in my head
I don’t understand
But now she is gone
To a much better deal
And for me, I don’t know
As my heart returns to steel.
