Story of You: (A Ballad)

Years and Years have passed

But the memory's still new;

Like a second soul, like a sixth sense

I'll forever remember: The Story of You.

Youth was etched in my heart, unstained

I didn't know what I would miss

But now that it's lost, so am I:

Me and my regret, roaming an abyss.

once upon a time

On a faraway land

Lived a young girl

of the high and grand.

Her heart so light,

Her life so bright,

More was yet to come

And so was a knight

The trees changed colors

A light breeze blew,

So came autumn

All fresh and new

Young Teresa laughed

Ne'er a single wail

And then began her own

Precious little tale.

A fateful meeting followed

And even though she didn't know

Beautiful, young Teresa

Had met her Romeo.

Tristan, was his name

And his eyes were wide,

as he took her in,

she said "Tristan," and smiled.

They teased and played

As the days grew longer

They didn't seem to notice

When their bond grew stronger. 

Never had Tristan met a girl

So pure, so bright, so fun

His feelings for her grew everyday

He was the sunflower, she was his sun.

Never had Teresa met  a boy 

So gentle, So kind, so fun

Her feelings for him went out of control

She was the sunflower, he was her sun.

Shy to admit it,

Neither said a word. 

Love so pure, Love so deep

Didn't need to be heard.

Her hand was his crutch

His arms were her wings

With the other it became clear, 

The beauty of all things.

But happy endings are scarce

And so they'll meet this fate

Even if it might've worked

Days were gone, it was too late.

Time Finally gave up on them

Just as all was going well,

Hence came the razing storms

Of breaking hearts and living hell.

Teresa was to be taken away

Far across the seventh sea

To live elsewhere, start again

Life's not always what you want it to be

Torn and desperate and hurt

Tristan bared his heart

But Teresa was dragged away

In the end, she had to part. 

How she wishes, to see him again

To tell him what he never knew

And seven seas is a long distance

They'd never meet again, that much was true.

Dawns Brought hope

Nights Brought fear

All alone, Juliet hoped

Her romeo would reappear.

I Know I'll never see you again

But I do every single night,

You're in my dreams, in my heart

In the darkness you give me light.

And I didn't have the courage

to say it before,  

And so I'll say it now:

Years and Years have passed

But the memory's still new

I don't know how you could never know

Always and forever, I'll love you.
