In a deserted Long Beach inn
Next to the marina;
They bid their farewells
While gazing at Catalina;
Pride and ego won
Neither had the stamina!
A romance with much promise
A beautiful love story
But sadly it’s all over
Gone with summer’s glory!
But in the cold winter nights
Chances are they’d be sorry!
If their love were true
They’d feel much regret
If feelings were mutual
It’ll be painful to forget
If embers be in their hearts
Their souls forever will fret...
