It Will Never Last

It WIll Never Last We were still young kids when we first met You were my dreams My everything My first kiss My first dance with a boy You took my heart above the clouds Just to hold your hand was a simple joy I walked down the isle You watched my every step We knew it was right No one thought it would last We are too young they all said We don't know what love is yet they told us Our first child was born A son, just like his dad We became proud parents not just once but four times over Lost in parenthood Forgetting to still be lovers Then one day I realised I was not happy anymore I have everything You have never let me want for anything Our three sons and our daughter They all have everything they need So why am I still not happy? Could it be that the boy I once knew was now a man? A man of responsibilities He has lost his humour All he does is work Not for the money, We have enough of that But for self satisfaction Would rather be at work than with us Would rather go camping on his own than spend my birthday with me Would rather have money in his pocket to spare Than see his children take their first steps Would rather have his boss think he is great than watch his son score the his first goal Oh sure! You regret it now After I have left You find time now After you have killed what I felt for you You say you love me And it does not even touch my heart I needed it back through all those years I needed my husband at home So here I am Wondering was it all my fault? Did I expect too much? Where did that boy go I love so much? So..They were right It would never last But for 21 long years I TRIED To my husband Mark They say things happen for a reason I hope that me leaving finally teaches you to spend time with your children.
