I Love Him Still

Tho not the one I chose to love Too many faults to rise above Not tall enough, and much too old So, only friendship first took hold. He was country, I was city A match for us, I could not see One night as we sat neath the moon My heart burned bright, began to swoon. Our time was short, death had stepped in And robbed me of what might have been I could not understand just why But knew I’d love him till I die. That was forty-five years ago I’ve lived a lot, had much to show The past may hold this bitter pill… But I know this, I love him still!
