Click hereFor 27 years I was just about me
surviving by my wits and learning
when to flirt and when to run
and I was floating quickly towards my end
but it was ok cuz I was just about me.
Then you came along and my heart was caught
I was just about us-we were just about us
and life was perfect and we floated together towards
everything that was good and clean and honest
we did this for 27 yrs-just about us
Now its just about me again
but I don't want that
and you are just about you
and everything that was good
just floated right by us
do I have another 27 years?

The miracle of change ~ a welcome presense. I becomes we. May you float together toward all that's good, clean and honest. Beautifully evocative rendering.
Just 27 more years?
Sounds like you've just reached the mid-point
With at least another fifty to go...
