Something I Forgot to Tell You

I'm older now, older than most expect
 and looking back I must confess
 there are some things I do regret.

These senior years suddenly become
 life's intermission,
 the chance for last admissions.

The busyness of youth and wanting to grow up
 filled the years with so much unnecessary stuff,
 now, I can say - enough.

Before the years take hold
 and our age gets for too old
 my mind and heart must reveal the truths be told.

You were and are still
 the love of my life, my soulmate that thrilled
 every battle we shared up and down hill.

So now at last you know
 the something I forgot to tell you as time flows
 I love you so.
