I Saw Beauty

I saw beauty, but beauty was too blind to see me
I followed after her shadow as it faded
I tried to catch her eye, but it was not to be
So here I am alone and beauty has gone

I chased beauty, but beauty moved too fast
For too quickly she soon took flight
I tried to treasure the moment that did not last
And now I have to await when beauty returns

I need beauty, but beauty needed me not
For once she did know my very soul
I tried to remind her but she forgot
So I have to remain a memory lost
