William Jackson - Just the Thought of You

Just the thought of you
sends my mind reeling!
So young and full of life.
You are acquiring life's treasure,
while I am casting it off to hang
onto life itself and to pursue you.
I know it would never work out,
an April to December romance,
and I tell myself this everyday.
Still, I am intoxicated with the thought
that you might love me at least for a little while.

William Jackson
