It began as a summer just like the rest
  Hopeful and filled with emotion
  Lovers enjoying their sweet conquests
  Pledging undying devotion
  
  He felt the warm winds encircle his heart
  Softly, gently caressing all of his being
  Every part, his love for her was unending
  She was all that he dreamed of all of his life
  For her there was no other
  Happy were they as man and wife
  Happy were they that summer
  And all that it seemed was not meant to be
  The world was lost in indifference
  And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
  
  Then without warning all that they knew
  Everything they'd been together was taken away
  Swift and cruel on that terrible night in summer
  Out of the ruins he called her name
  Echoing over and over
  Silently waiting, but no one came
  Out of the ruins that summer
  And all that it seemed was not meant to be
  The world was lost in indifference
  And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
  
  Out of the ruins he walked alone
  Empty and broken forever
  With nothing left but the sweet memory
  Of how it began that summer
