Our Moment Together

I look back on the glow of the sun,
With a joke and a quick little pun,
You and I started with a spark.

We learned that everything fades away,
But you and I mattered anyway,
I know that our love left its mark.

Through it all,
Although it's gone,
Love was with us all along.

It was so wonderful -
If only for a little while,
Our moment together.
It was ethereal -
Our white lie for a little smile,
The myth of forever.

And just as sure as the sun does glow,
Forever is something we can't know.

We grew until it became too much,
Happy together but with no luck,
We had an expiration date.

I remember the light in your eyes,
Although we've long since said our goodbyes,
I still know meeting you was fate.

Through it all,
Although it's gone,
Love was with us all along.

It was so wonderful -
If only for a little while,
Our moment together.
It was ethereal -
Though only for a little smile,
The myth of forever.

And just as sure as the sun does glow,
Forever is something we can't own.
