Once there was a boy.
With hair as dark as night.
With eyes that light up
A sky so bright.
Once there was a girl.
With hair so soft and light.
With eyes so dark
They thrilled you
Through the summer nights.
Once there were two people,
A boy and a girl,
Who grew up faster
Than one ought to know.
Their innocence was broken,
Their eyes no longer shone
With the curiosity
Of a cat left out in a storm.
Their faces no longer soft
Their names no longer thrilling.
Broken from a war
They no longer fought.
