Poem
My dear, There's nowhere I'd rather be, Than by your side, As you grow old with me. I know we fight and carry on, We wield our swords for all to see, But darling I do love you so, Settle in and please grow old with me. When twilight sets and our bones creak, When sunset is at the top of our hill, When our passionate longing turns to comfort, It is you I'll long for still. When our luscious hair no longer grows, When wrinkles show the many laughs, When sighs replace sprints and jumps. You'll still be my better half. When our children are grown and living large, When our teeth aren't as white or strong, For every step I take down that path, My love I want you along. When flying dishes are replaced with shrugs, When our joints groan instead of snap to, When our lives are like the setting sun, Justin I want to be with you. You are the green in my garden, You are the red in my art, You are the harmony in my song, You are the love in my heart. I know we sometimes brawl and spur, I know we talk of ending it all, But the truth is, Rocketpants, there's no one else But with you whom I'll take the fall. You are my strength, my grace, my inspiration, You are my reflection when I'm at my best, There's no one like you in this whole wide world, I choose you above all the rest. You fascinate me and leave me in wonder, You spark my passion and calm my bones, When your strong arms are wrapped around me, I can exhale. I'm finally home. Let's walk this plain hand in hand, But not too fast, let's take it slow, Come grow old with me, my sweet love, And we will walk together into the glow.
