Looking out, for you to come

There was a time,

Not too long ago,

When you were still pretty,

And I was still young.

Life then was so strange,

Time passed away leaving us unchanged,

Fools were we to think,

That this is how it shall always remain.

We thought it was for ever,

A lifetime is too short,

Funny where life has brought us now,

Even a lifetime seems too long.

Hours ceases to pass,

The Sun ceases to set,

Sitting on the rocking chair,

No longer feels the same.

I yearn for the days gone by,

And dread the days to come,

Life without you by my side,

I never thought would come.

Yet,  this is where I find myself now,

Lonely and forlorn,

Sitting by the same old rocking chair,

Looking out for you to come.
