To the one I loved and lost

I loved you once long ago
I lost you before we had a chance to know
As years rolled by I hoped and prayed
That once again I would see you face.

All the times I hoped and prayed
Within time the hope began to fade
But still in the crowd I searched for you
Always knowing my love was true.

Then one night as if by chance
There came the strangest circumstance
Here you were the one I seeked
I was lost and so so weak.

Now I have found you my shining star
Even though I love you from afar
Know that even through this course
I have always and forever been yours.
