When we first met it felt like spring

After months of winter weather

I hoped our blossoming romance

Would brighten up my life forever


But faint heart never won fair lady

Or indeed fair gentleman

At the very first sign of trouble

You turned upon your heels and ran


It takes great strength and bravery

To show vulnerability

It takes a fearless heart indeed

Truly to fall in love


Just like the giant guarding his garden

You built a wall around your heart

A wall impossible to scale

Serving only to keep us apart


And now we are strangers again

I will no more gaze into your eyes

As affection so sorely neglected

Rests its weary head and dies


It takes great strength and bravery

To show vulnerability 

It takes a fearless heart indeed

Truly to fall in love
