Old Man Happy Ending

It's been two years 
Since I could say 
I was truly happy
Two days we slept away 
In each other's hands
Is just a memory of my happy ending
I had my chance to die happy
I decided to live for her
No lying there's a part of me that gave up
I should leave this life behind and focus on death
I have 1 year and 10 months left 
When you look back you 
Just know I loved you  
I waited until the end for you
I never gave into giving up on you
You are the apple of my eye
The conversation I was seeking 
And everything I want and more
I promise to stay loyal to you
I know it's how it's meant to be
I'm the old man forever alone 
Waiting for the most beautiful intelligent girl to come back
