We walked
Along the length
Of Dover's chalk face
Where lovers pick up flints
And carve their names
With little grace
And the rain will fall
And the wind will blow
And the waves
Will take away
And the light will fade
And the night will shade
And even the cliffs themselves
Will be gone one day
Mark u luv Sue
Way back in '82
Zoe + Shawn u woz 'ere
In 1991
Emma & Lee u were meant 2B
4-ever 2-gether
We stopped and wrote
Graffiti of our own
Upon the chalk face
A love among
These other loves
From ours and other times
And how we wished
That this love of ours
Would last as long as us...
And we wrote that wish
Upon the chalk face
So how did you do, Mark?
Did you keep hold
Of your Sue?
Zoe and Shawn
Are you still going strong
Since 1991?
Emma and Lee
Were you really meant to be
4-ever 2-gether?
Or was it just you and me
Who had to grieve?
Love's crumbling into the sea
