long long time ago
now
more than ever I need her to realize
that I care for her
for all the things she’s done for me
at the end of life stage we are
stepping over the threshold
gingerly into the waiting lobby
I feel right now just to be with her
holding hands
my lover my beloved my finest friend
there for me at all times
and reminisce the good life
we had together.
just having a good time
without a care in the world
long long time ago
always ever my sunshine
words not thrown lightly
when we first met
long long time ago.
i was and ever her sunshine
words she cherished
when we first met
long long time ago
now
more than ever I need her to realize
that I care for her truly
for all the things she’s done for me
all the things she cares for
and cared for
long long time ago
