Forgive Me

Sometimes I come too soon
Like I came to this world
Or sometimes too late
Like I loved you at this age

I am always late for hapiness
I always go to misery too soon
Either everything has already come to an end
Or nothing has started yet

I am at a step of life that is
Too soon to die, too late to love
I am late again, forgive me my love
I am on the verge of love, but death is closer.
