I remember it was late September

Enjoying the sweet summer air

I was seventeen, without a care

When she came along

And taught me there was more



I remember the first time

I saw forever in her eyes

And it tore down every disguise

Sent crashing down the walls I’d built so high

Defied gravity; thought I could fly

It lasted forever, and ended too soon



I remember as summer passed to fall

For me, the task became too tall

I grew bitter and grey

My foolish pride led me to walk away



And now so many summers later

I’m left here to lament

It was late September

When she came along

It lasted forever, and ended too soon
