Just a Number?

For where art thou Romeo?
In heaven's scorn and sake of rain
Not of time but of our years

Never could I forget him
The way of love is permanent
Not passing time but time past

Put away the emotion
Patience is a gold virtue
Not now, we must be above

Knowing much in little time
Hope for time, go fast enough
Not the time for us to hold

Shortened by the time I am
Having many many more years to go
Not the age I need to be
