One day, they promised, if our love is true
we’ll meet again on the bridge where we first met.
Where the pond is alive with symphonies by birds and frogs.
Where water lilies dance along with the summer breeze. 
He wanted to see the world.
She wanted commitment.
Never once did they fight.
Never once did they doubt.
Who would give up their dream to please the other.
One day, they promised, if our love is true
we’ll meet again on the bridge where we first met.
Where the air is filled with an aroma of different flowers in the garden
and the sun’s beams kiss the water below.
He saw the world.
She found commitment.
The pond was silent and the lily pads were still.
Never once were they reunited on the bridge where they first met.
