Bathed in moonlight under a starry night
he clutched her hand and held it tight
she took him in her arms and held fast
deep down they both knew it could not last.
Two souls inseperable in mind and heart
it was only miles that kept them apart
in another time, another place
they might have retreated from the human race
These snatched moments must surely end
before the ensuing wrath transcends
a passing cloud phased out the light
the stars disappeared as they kissed goodnight
They always knew it could not last
all they had left was memories past
as true love bade its last farewell
each went their separate ways to dwell
