Where Lovers Meet Poem by Chris Embrick

I followed my heart down the street
To the park where lovers meet
And on the bench felt your embrace
Although another kissed your face.

Behind I lingered while you walked
Heard the sweetness as you talked
I whispered love for you to hear
Although another had your ear.

All day I spent the hours in bliss
To be this close brought happiness
I stayed until you had to part
Although another had your heart.

It's lonely here, this room of mine
It's been this way for quite some time
What empty life, this my existence
To only know love from a distance.

Tomorrow who knows where I'll be
Wherever this heart carries me
Maybe down this same street
To the place where lovers meet.
