Love Sick

I meet you, I’m the guy right down the street,
I traveled this far now, from the garden state.
Things just felt right from the moment we did meet.
At this point in our lives, you’d think it’s too late.
I’ll treat you better than the other guy,
I promise to do right and give you everything.
I’ll take care of you until the day I die,
I’ll be your man if you accept my ring.
Will you give me all I wish I had?
Could you fill the hole that’s in my life?
All the things that go and make me sad,
Daughter I don’t know and the absentee wife.
Our age grows parallel with our love.
This life seems like a gift form above.

An annual check up now reveals,
What seemed to never show.
A lump in the back, time, it steals.
So starts surgery and chemo.
So I think back at the relationships that fail.
In the following weeks my daughter won’t come,
Won’t answer the phone or respond in the mail.
A stranger to my blood and this is the sum.
My love I am sorry to leave you alone,
With a home to take care of and duties to take.
I hope I did enough, prepared for the unknown.
I’ll hold your hand and say goodbye as you stay awake.
Goodbye to my life at its blissful height.
Good luck to your future at moorings’ light.
