I remember <br />When I had to leave her <br />I would cry. <br />And she would <br />Weep at the station <br />When she left me. <br />Two lovers <br />Closer than leaves on a tree. <br />Became strangers <br />Overnight. <br />Dying stars, <br />In the blue fading light. <br /> <br />She came <br />To meet me at the airport. <br />Said she wondered <br />How she'd get through. <br />I suffered myself <br />That week too. <br />Only true love will ache. <br />Hearts crack <br />Yet don't break. <br />Two lovers <br />Closer than leaves on a tree. <br />Became strangers <br />With Autumn's dawn. <br />Lost in the colours of its tapestry. <br />Yet <br />No one asks <br />For love to be born.<br /><br />Kevin East<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leaves-on-a-tree/
