When You Are Old

When your golden hair has faded

And age lines crease your skin,

The fires of your passion are faded

And you finally look within

Remember then how I loved you,

And fought to make you smile.

I strove to kindle the spark anew

That sputtered after a while

Because love is oxygen to a flame.

I cannot breathe.  Speak my name!
