What a tragedy, my dear
to long for that kind of love
poets have written about
in a generation plagued
by cheating and ruined relationships

What a tragedy, my dear
to still remember the tales
told by your grandparents
and wish for a relationship
as enduring as what they have

What a tragedy, my dear
to have an old soul with a heart
who feels nostalgic for that kind of love
this world and generation seem to lack
