Aging In Love

once upon a time
you saw a beautiful princess
you were longing to be mine
and your love you did confess
      we walked down the aisle
      dreaming of happy ever after
      each with an expectant smile
      of less tears and more laughter
but now I'm thirty-four
a lovely maiden no longer
and you don't love me anymore
though my love's grown stronger
      now when you look at me
      an ugly old hag
      is what you see
      and life is but a drag
