In Sorrow And Tears Poem by GJG Elton

Your lover, he left you, in sorrow and tears,
But never forgot you, down through the years.

…

In silence he grieved, for the pain that he caused,
His then fondest wish, your lives were just paused.
Though hidden for decades, his love for you grew,
Those feelings of his, you never knew.

Though miles apart, the pain, you both shared;
for all of your lives, both of you cared.
The years, though they passed, memories remained,
‘cause hearts of true lovers, always stay chained.

While living his life, he never forsook,
his only true love, he continued to look.
It finally paid off, one morning, one June;
those first words of yours, caused him to swoon.

Still young at heart, your love, it resumed;
and his deepest wish, to be your new groom.
The life that you live, it's kept you apart,
never allowing, the merge of your hearts.

Those plans for the future, are they now all shattered?
His promises to you, do you want them to matter?
The life that you live, has it made you switch gears?
Your lover, have you now left him, in sorrow and tears…?
