One Year On

Written by Paul Elksnis

That Autumn night one year ago
I saw you standing there.
I tried to move in close although
Your silent words I had to bear.

The last three nights we were as one
And how I was so pleased
Then when you called to carry on
This sign from you I quickly seized.

Our hardest times were yet to come
Where we would be apart
But one thing's kept me true to you
And that's the love within my heart

The longest times have been so short
That we have been together
But glad am I to know this fact
I'll love you, Chris, forever
