Unrequited Love -- Famous Last Line
Wandering my maze of memories
In search of yesteryear
The spark she struck within my heart
Still burns in spite of tears
Hand in hand we walked the halls
Young love boldly displayed
The classes we shared
The moments we snared
Our two hearts swept away
That Saturday picnic in the spring
'Neath the canopy of juniper trees
Our first forbidden lovers' touch
No other eyes could see
Innocence lost in a tender embrace
For us there was no doubt
Time stood still the fire burned hot
The breeze could not put out
It must have angered the powers that be
Our love was unrequited
A storm blew in the rain put out
The flame which we'd ignited
Our love was blind
Fate was unkind
A love not meant to be
That memory branded in my mind
How cruel love was to me

How cruel love was to me
A future I could not see
My heart so tender and true
Would heal but forever be blue
As days turned into years
More dreams would drown in tears
How little did I know, how quick love turns cold
So elusive and hard to hold
Yet over and over again
Sparks would ignite in the wind
Flames would rise and fall
The rains, drenching them all
Each time a lesson was learned
Leave scars from all of the burns
Then fate would intervene
Two hearts would once again dream
I felt the wind in my face
It was time for love's final disgrace
Then all of my love was gone
I was left all on my own
I would not try again
Because love is not my friend
Just spend my time at ease
With my maze of sad memories
