Gee, how I miss
Oh, how much I long for
Your tender kiss,
The gentle touch of your lips
And the wonderful things we would do.
The joyful activities we used to engage in together.
Now I run my hands
I touch my own head
Through silvery strands,
As my once vibrant hair loses its color
You left me blue turning gray over you.
You caused me great sadness and heartache, which has aged me prematurely.
You used to be
Once upon a time, you were
So good to me,
You treated me with kindness and respect
That's when I was a novelty.
At a time when I was exciting and new to you
Now, you've new friends in view,
You have met other people who interest you

You have moved on and now have a new love interest
And left me blue turning gray over you.
