TURN OF A PAGE

you were tender and fragile, like the wings of a dove

you were my goddess, my first and last love

no words could describe the way I loved you

but you married him, there was never a clue

five years have passed since you walked away

I never stopped hurting not even one day

it's been ten years and I worship you still

a river of tears, an ocean to fill

to hold and kiss you, just one last time

they said you had kids, I wish they were mine

fifteen years, a few wrinkles, middle age

life passed me by, a swift turn of a page

twenty-five years, my life unchanged

obsessed with you, my dreams rearranged

five decades are gone, I still hear your voice

you left with that guy, you made the wrong choice

I heard from a friend, he had left for another

you passed away, a single mother

my time has come I am old and frail,

one love, one lost, one life to fail
