Louise

When he saw her getting off the bus

It seemed to wipe away the years

Her face was older just a little rough

But her eyes were still so clear

He drank his coffee and he hurried out

Across before she walked away

Then he approached her like a little child

Too scared for what he had to say

"Hello Louise

Remember me

Now should we part

Or stay awhile

As if we were still lovers"

She took a moment just to recognise

The man she'd known so well before

And as he started to apologise

Lose any bitterness she bore

She gently put her finger on his lips

To let him know she understood

And with her suitcase standing on the floor

Embraced him like a lover would

He told louise

"You look so good

It's just you see

You make me feel

As if we were still lovers"

It's not always true that time heals all wounds

There are wounds that you don't wanna heal

The memories of something really good

Something truly real

That you never found again

As if we were still lovers

And though they talked just for just a little time

Before she said she had to go

He saw the meeting as a tiny sign

That told him all he had to know

And so Louise

Waved from the bus

And as she left

She gave that smile

As if they were still lovers

It's not always true that time heals all wounds

There are wounds that you don't wanna heal

The memories of something really good

Something truly real

That I've never found again
