With each passing day
My love for you grew
From fifty-four years ago
And still today it’s all about you
Not a single day
Without you on my mind
Evidence of the impact on me
You’ve passed the test of time
I’m sure you thought I’d forget you
Over the course of many years
But little do you know
You’re my driving gears
Not that I expect
To ever see you again
It’s your smile within my heart
That powers me on like a train
And yes, I miss you
More than you’ll ever know
But this love was never about regret
Stronger than any words can show
