young love

I wish we hadn’t met

not because I do not love you 

yet it is because 

I love you 

I wish we hadn’t met 

not till later

I wish we hadn’t met yet 

not because you haven’t blessed my youthful days 

yet it is because 

I wish I wouldn’t turn gray 

I wish we hadn’t met

not till later

I wish we hadn’t met 

not because our young love isn’t mine

yet it is because 

i wish i had you in my old age 

when we start to turn gray 

when the doom of death gets nearer

but the promise of us is forever
