I am an aging man;
you are a younger woman.

So much uncertainty
caught in the few words

of such a simple sentence.

The world will have
something harsh to say
about this.

It always does.

Lucky for me I am
no longer a worldly man.

But you must still
find your path in it.

I hope that path
leads you to me,

but

I am an aging man;
you are a younger woman,

and that's plain for
all the world to see.
