Till this day I still can see-
The teardrops on your face.
I see the sorrow, pain, and grief-
Which nothing can erase.

It hurt me so to leave you-
To saddle up and run...
A pity that you can't undo-
Wrong-doing, once it's done.

I drifted in, a stranger-
And somehow won your heart...
I really tried to warn you,
I was no good from the start...

Two helpless leaves upon the wind
And driven by it's force,
We touched so briefly in our flight-
Then went our fated course.

So when you stop and think of me-
I often think of you...
Remember that at least we touched
As down life's course we flew.

John,
sound's like a dearJane letter to me. You could compete in PDV's challenge with this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
