To the Day

It won't matter the day,
I love you, but you don't know.
Oblivious, unknown.
If only you knew,
How my heart aches.
But no matter what,
I will love you to the day.

 

You may not love me,

But you still care,

Because you're a kind person.

Then there's me, over there.

Selfishly doing anything

To get to you.

Because I love you so much more.

 

I see you with him,

Dancing away.

Love glints in your eyes as the two of you sway,

His eyes do not stray, he gazes lovingly into yours.

That could be me gazing, I can pray.

 

You don't love me, that's not okay.

I still love you more and more.

Want to keep you because

I have so much more in store.

My heart aches.

But no matter what,

I still love you to this day.

 

 

60 years may have still gone past,

Romeo and Juliet the two of you

May have been cast,

But I still love you from the shadows.

You and I,  I thought precast,

But every day for sixty years

I have watched, as the two of you were content.

But not me.

 

55 years ago, he proposed,

And you accepted.

53 years ago,

The two of you had your first child.

40 years ago,

The two of you had your 5^th child.

20 years ago,

You celebrated your first grandchild,

10 years ago,

You celebrated your 50^th anniversary

With your large and happy family surrounding you.

 

I wanted that to be us.

But instead it was you and him.

I have waited in the shadows for sixty years.

It has been like being stabbed with a knife

The knife twisting around and being pushed deeper

Everyday of the sixty years.

 

 

 You don't love me, that's not okay.

I still love you more and more.

Want to keep you because,

I have nothing else to live for.

My knife is pushing deeper in,

But no matter what,

I still love you to this day.
