When we first met it felt like spring
After months of winter weather
I hoped our blossoming romance

Would brighten up my life forever

But faint heart never won fair lady

Or indeed fair gentleman
At the very first sign of trouble
You turned upon your heels and ran


It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability

It takes a fearless heart indeed
Truly to fall in love


Just like the giant guarding his garden
You built a wall around your heart
A wall impossible to scale

Serving only to keep us apart

And now we are strangers again

I will no more gaze into your eyes
As affection so sorely neglected
Rests its weary head and dies


It takes great strength and bravery
To show vulnerability

It takes a fearless heart indeed
Truly to fall in love
