The John to my Taupin

Age just a number,
Maturity should matter.

Wise beyond my years,
But not where it counts.

You were a gentleman and made me feel special,
But eight years came between us.

Your music and humour brightened my life,
Without you the dark ages have come again.

Magical fast fingers,
I wanted to be the one you used them on.

Age restrictions legally, socially, romantically,
Always a barrier but I thought we'd be different.

Things have changed for the worst,
We can't even be friends.

The love of your life is yet to be found,
But when she is, she'll be the luckiest of women.

You'll treat her like a princess,
You'll be the king of husbands.


Varelai.
