Love, you put off till tomorrow Timid, reverent, tongue-tied.

Through concerns never ending, (I know you never wanted it that way) The feelings that welled in your heart Never swelled When a glance was enough to reveal everything.

You expected longer days to come Speaking of love in minutes was ugly to you That the years would pass in such a hurry, In such a fuss never crossed your mind.
