Lest We Forget The Waifs

Lest we forget
Your dates as a younger man
Like how when you were 9
You fell in love because she was
The 1st girl you'd seen throw a cricket ball
You knew that you'd be together for the
Rest of your lives
Now you sit alone in the sun
In the backyard, feeding the birds
Reading the newspaper
Thinking about the love that you shouldn't have lost

Love that you lost
Love that you shouldn't have
Love that you lost
Love that you shouldn't have
Love that you lost
Love that you shouldn't have lost

When I was a child, I didn't see her much
She passed away before i was 5
I was so young that it barely affected my life
Then one day when i asked you
Told me she was magnifacent
All that i had was your word and a photograph
But that look in your eyes told me all that
I needed to know
