When I stole the desperate kiss,
You stole my heart.
Lips sealed,
Sealed my fate.
I surrendered,
As if a virgin,
I gave myself to you,
As you gave yourself to me.
But that was long ago,
In the past.
It seems some things,
They were not built to last.
Indeed, you broke my heart,
For a while.
Life fell apart.
Love moved on,
As did life.
I survived that cutting knife.
Forty years down the road,
Just like you,
I am getting old.
Our teenage dreams did grow cold,
Because I lived by a different code.
I did love you,
And you loved me,
That, indeed, was plain to see.
Then again,
It wasn’t meant to be.
Life will never be the same,
When our love went down the drain.
But new love came,
At some cost.
You see,
All indeed was not lost.
Looking back,
I would not change a thing.
For in the end,
You —
Thank you.
You made my heart sing.
