Was it destiny or fate?
Did we come to love too late?
For just a moment in our lives
We had a taste of paradise.
The perfect love was ours,
And our souls soared with the stars.
But the power of good-bye
Showed illusion as a lie.
We still fail to understand
How it all slipped from our hands.
Everything we hoped for
And grew to so much more.
But now the pain sweeps forth
And we question all the worth.
And at times we realize
That it wasn't very wise.
For the price that we will pay
Without answers day to day
As we watch the world go by
And we ask the question "Why?"
Does fate play with our lives
To bring us love and let it die?
Is this all there is to live
To question what we give?
For we can never change the tide
And there is nowhere we can hide.
But we forever love the night
Bringing memories to the light.
