As the heavens parted and the rain dribbled down
A sense of ignorance was felt by all
The Gods mocked us as we traded blows in this game of love
Anticipating regrets that were not forthcoming
We persisted at tugging each others heartstrings
And rallied at the prospect of eternal love
I gazed into your eyes and looked deep into your soul
My heart began to beat to the beat of yours
With every beat, I heard it cry your name
And this is where it will stay
For our love is meant to be no more
Shall we part ways and pray that fate brings us together
For our hearts again to beat as one
