They were two lovers, so pure and bright,
Whose timing wasn't right,
Their love was real, it was true,
But fate played its hand, and their love grew askew.

They met when they were young and free,
With a passion that burned like the sun and sea,
But the timing wasn't right, you see,
And they had to let each other be.

Years went by, and they both moved on,
But their love still lingered, like a forgotten song,
They often wondered what could have been,
If the timing had been right back then.

Yet life had taken them on different paths,
With different goals, and different tasks,
But their love still remained, in their hearts so true,
Like a fire that still burned, amidst the ocean's blue.

And so they lived, with their love held close,
Wishing for a time when they could be those,
Two young lovers, who had lost their way,
But whose love still remained, day by day.

For in their hearts, they knew it was right,
Even though the timing wasn't right,
And so they held onto their love so bright,
Forever yearning for the day it could take flight.
