Born Too Soon

Born again on the night we met A night that I will never forget The world as I knew it, was rearranged From our first kiss everything changed She changed my life from empty to full My years with her were wonderful She said she would always be in love with me Often said , and with sincerity I felt our love was secure Through time or trouble we would endure Always or forever means infinity Anything less is just temporary My age to hers was always a fear I was older than her by several years She said, I will always be in love with you And age will never become an issue I believed her words to be the truth But issues did come, and one was youth Another was my reduced finance’s Losing my job also reduced my chances Of living the life, I had dreamed of And losing what I thought was her love On the river of time I was her ferry Just crossing to find someone else to marry Her love raised me as high as the moon But alas, the truth… I was born to soon
