I only needed close my eyes
and I could travel back in time
to a past I locked inside my heart
where the memories stay fresh in my mind

I only needed touch her hand
and in my mind the world stood still
where stable boys could marry queens
and dreams never die unfulfilled

I only needed our eyes meet
though no words spoken, I would know
her love, like mine, had never dimmed
but from a distance had thrived and grown

I only needed touch the ring
to be reminded once again
of the treasured gift I'd always keep
an outward symbol of ties deep within

I only needed ocean waves
and time to heal my broken heart
I knew that I'd find love again
though none would take her place in my heart
