\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Old Before Your Time<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Girl, you\u2019re gone again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are out of town.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are not with men.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, you aren\u2019t slowing down.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are busy all the time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Always up to something new.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If a little of that time was mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I could be happy too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our dates are few, at best.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You have to fit me in.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even have to guess.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to you. I can\u2019t win.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always wish that you were mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That all you did was with me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have only one fear on my mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

it is something that just could be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That you\u2019ll grow old before your time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, it will be too late for me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You are booked up for two weeks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond that, you are not sure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You always have these promises to keep.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time goes by so fast, it\u2019s just a blur.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You say you want to make the time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, obligations get in the way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe, sometime, the time, you will find.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You will have to find another way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If not, I may decide for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have free time on my hands.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The Devil\u2019s Workshop\u2019 hype may be true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll find another with whom I can make plans.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always wish that you were mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That all you did was with me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have only one fear on my mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

it is something that just could be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That you\u2019ll grow old before your time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, it will be too late for me.—R. W. Johnson—–(2015)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
