Love Never Dies

Like mountain streams
They met and part,
In the dusky path of a dream,
Memory is busy in their hearts.

Down in the deepest shadow,
Love’s flame somehow blew out in the cold.
Once full of life and glow
Now a story waiting to be told.

Their lips cry out each other’s name in silence.
Heart and soul penetrated by pain.
A love beyond words and sense,
A sweet forgotten strain.

As slow hours strike, they lie awake.
Much to learn and much to forget.
A gloomy shadow it forever makes,
Done with all yearning, done with all regret.

Looking beyond the clouds of time,
No more questions, no more reply.
Out of the sky new stars will shine,
Love comes and goes but never dies.
