Oh... What a Life (a poem)

Oh... What a Life

Oh... what a wonderful life!
I want to run and sing.
Spending time with you
Has always been my favorite thing.

One place after another,
we adventure through time.
For some reason your smile,
Makes all my worries seem fine.

Oh... what a wonderful life!
We laugh, we dance, we cry in the rain.
Side by side with you,
Has always been my favorite thing.

I do not know when my life began,
But... on one fateful September.
I do know when we first became friends.
A month that I shall always remember,

Oh... what a wonderful life!
You are the one in my dreams.
Knowing you are my friend,
Has always been my favorite thing.

I am ready to say I love you.
Standing on the beach to the setting sun.
A man approaches from the distance.
Instead of me, into his arms you run.

Oh... what has happened to my life?
Everything seem so perfect to me.
She has given her heart to someone else.
God, why is this something I never did see?

It was like a shadow in the night.
Trying to win her heart, I did not quit.
In the nighttime, I came and went.
My love, it will be I who she will soon forget.

Oh... how I have failed in life.
Another hopeless romantic quest.
It's true how I always adored you.
In the end... I was always second best.
