An Afternoon Apart
All in a golden afternoon,
Under the skies of cloudless blue
I saw you for the first time,
And knew I would love you.
All in all peaceful afternoon,
Under the skies of lovely pink
I saw you looking at me,
And knew I would stay with you.
All in a frenzied afternoon
Under the skies if raging red
I saw you at the worst time,
And knew I would change you.
All in a cold afternoon,
Under the skies of cloudy grey
I saw you looking at me,
And I knew I would hate you.
All in a dark afternoon,
Under the skies of murky blue,
I saw you for the last time,
And knew I would forget you.
