There was a time, so long ago
When I believed I would fall in love
And it would be forever
But forever is a long time
And for me, it wasn’t meant to be
I’m okay with that
**~**~**
I was blessed with children
And as time went on
They were blessed with children, too
My heart is full of love for them
For family and friends
And I'm content
**~**~**
I did believe I would miss having a love for life
But my life is full of love
And I am missing nothing
If a LOVE should come along
It would take me by surprise
But I am not so old, even now
That I would not welcome it
**~**~**
I’m just too damn old
To seek it out and pursue it
So it you’re out there, LOVE
You’d better hurry up and find me
I’d be ready, but not necessarily waiting
