Groan (up)
Age is a shame when it comes to love.
It reaches a point where you just give up,
But the heart’s desire keeps setting on fire,
Every time you meet someone who lifts you higher.
I’m feeling too old to love her or flirt.
She desires another and I am left to hurt.
My heart wants to love whilst she just wants fun.
I wish I could, once more be young.
I want marriage. She wants to party.
I’ve had enough, while she’s just getting started.
I could be right for her as she is wrong for me.
She is so beautiful. She is my need.
I have to move on, be gone! I’m no fun.
A setting sun remembers being young.
My thoughts haven’t changed,
Still wanting the same.
Marriage is the way,
But not today.

Perhaps, the subject will be key to enabling you to break away from the monotony of living a mediocre life whilst settling for the mundane by enabling you an open channel of fun and festivity, in addition to the stability you each may provide to each other in a commitment !
Sadly, people marry for all the wrong reasons, and forget that life is meant to be an adventure; full of flare and adventure whilst shared with the one that enables them to always feel playful and youthful, irrespective of age.
So. Quit the groaning, and appreciate the growth and wisdom that comes with age; knowing that it’s OK to have fun, whilst the balancing life, and the mediocre BS !
Fun, and laughter is medicinal and softens the blow of life’s twists & turns, as long as no one is being compromised in a web of lies that cause heartache.
Love the honesty, and it’s lovely to see you here, and writing again !
