I went to tell her she could say

If she ever needed anything

If there was something I could do

She said "My heart is overgrown

A weight I never knew

"In age, I find

I feel an ache as though I've overstayed my time

I pray to God I never come awake sometimes

I'm farther in time, from most of my life

It's only out of love for you

That I don't know what else to do

In fear of moving on

You're here and then you're gone."

She took the flowers and licorice

She said "It's just the thing I needed

It's such a pretty gift."

And so we faced the megalith

Standing in the corner of her kitchen

"Here, I've found

A feeling long forgotten as I'm older now

I feel it like a motorcade approaching down

I'm farther in time, than most of my life

It's only out of love for you

That I don't know what else to do

I needed cheering up

You're here, and that's enough."
