Look at You by Jan Deason Look at you, you're fifty-two Time has been so good to you. Lucky me to have found in you The sweetest heart I ever knew. You only want good things for me But you really can't define The thing that would make me happiest Would be to make you mine. Your life is a lot more complicated Than mine will ever be. You've been with her for thirty years And only one with me. But if you had just one wish left It would be enough for me To know if you could have one thing It would be to be with me. It's harder for me than you know To love someone so much And be wise enough to know my dream May be something I can't touch.. Life is shorter than we think We only get one chance To be everything that's in our hearts Before the final dance. I'm thirty-nine, you're fifty-two I never dreamed till I found you. The thing I want the most in life I could never ask of you. Back to Poetry Index
