A girl and A boy

I met her in a park
She was a young girl
She spoke to me of her parents
She told me of her friends
She asked me to wait for her
It was Winter

And then she was gone

I met her in a park
She was now a teenager
She spoke of the time since we had last met
She told me of her travels
She asked me to wait for her
It was Spring

And then she was gone

I met her in a park
She was going away to College
She was crying, her parents had passed
She told me of her sadness
She asked me to wait for her
It was Summer

And then she was gone

I met her in a park
She had finished College
She said she learned much from her teachers
She told me of a sick friend
She asked me to wait for her
It was Fall

And then she was gone

I met her in a park
She was waiting for me
She said it was time
She told me she was ready
She thanked me for waiting for her

You see
we had both grown old
But never together
We finally had this time together
In the Winter of our lives
