I was five and you were ten,
You shared your bike, I offered my hand.
You pushed it away, and the tears I did cry.
You were ten, I was only five.
Then came that summer you turned fifteen.
At ten years old, you were my king.
I wanted to play you wanted to date
Oh how I wished I wasn’t born so late.
Soon you were twenty and I was a teen
I wanted your love but you weren’t to be seen.
You had a job and I still had school
Why did my life have to treat me so cruel?
I’m told you’re never tested beyond what you can bare.
But life is so unfair.
Then one day it happened and I was twenty-one.
You came home for business and wanted to have some fun.
Sitting at the bar, whilst drowning my tears.
Our eyes meet for the first time in years.
You approached me and smiled, and you asked me to dance
Am I finally getting my long waited romance?
You held me close as we danced the night away
Then our first kiss at the break of day
You invited me home, so I offered my hand
This time you took it, oh my happiness so grand.
We made love all day, my feelings so strong
But when the phone rang, I knew something was wrong.
“Yes dear, no dear, I miss you, I’m lonely.
I’ll be home in the morning”
In a moment’s time, my life was crushed with pain
All I heard was my heart as you tried to explain.
I’m told you’re never tested beyond what you can bare
But my life is so unfair.
How could you do this, we’ve known us so long
How could my judgment of you be so wrong?
The rejection as a child was easier to take
If only I wasn’t born five years too late
I’m told your never tested beyond what you can bare but life is so unfair.
