Young life, old love

From a child to a man my life becomes,

to the loveless to love we are one.

Note passing by to see if you like me,

the smile on your face says you will.

So many fragile hearts left unattended,

as life makes her way through my eyes.

There was always a look on your smile,

nothing mattered to you but this trust.

Eyes of a goddess found bleeding,

the only tears you would ever cry.

From a distance I watched you discover,

as my dreams fell to the ground.

The only love I wanted to be with,

made a different path for herself.

Carrying the note that I wrote you,

reminding my heart you are here.

As life made its way past forgotten,

your name still comforts my heart.

Now that we are older I found you,

waiting for what we now have.

No letter to show how much,

just a look or a touch we now share.

Ageless times making beauty,

knowing only you are my life.

Woman coming to know understanding,

man finding the love in his bride.

Years are gone as we lay here,

holding one heart in our hands.

Life slips away and we know this,

dying together as love takes a stand.
