A melody sings songs of a better time,
smooth strokes of keys on a piano,
soft like wind of a golden flute,
accompanied by a cheery violin,
as a couple dance.

Hand in hand,
like winds in perfect harmony.

The young girl laughs,
her bright eyes sparkling with happiness,
as the young boy stares through her.

"Forever and ever?"

In an instance the violin quiets and all turns dark,
but the lonely piano continues.

Beautiful,
Yet sad.

So sad the music,
it turned the heart of stone into tears.

Beautiful, but sad.

Like the smile of a woman,
who knows she will never again be,
with the man she loves.

But she remains happy,
in the reminiscence of the time they spent together, in which,
was the best of her life.

as the perfect dance ends,
the piano dies,
and a small innocent voice asks,
"Forever and ever?"

The boy smiles sadly as he looks down,
"Forever, yet never..."
