Age Is Just a Number

Age is just a number
To everyone but me
If age is what you need
I wish I was seventy

I'm so tired of these conclusions 
Being just a technicality
Look past all these rational thoughts
And lets just be happy

It's enough for me, I promise
If it's enough for you as well
I don't need anything else,
As far as I can tell

We both have grief and sorrow
Written on our face
But at each others side
Loneliness is in a losing race
