I Would Like To Grow Old With You

I would like to grow old with you, Let the years pass by, I want to know you, and you to know me. I want you to be your friends' as much as you are mine, and I want you to be mine as much as you are your friends'. Let us live so that we learn about the life, and to support each other. We should cry on each other's shoulders. We need to share and we need to get bored together, so much so that we should be bored of getting bored alone! We should celebrate our anniversaries/special days at our home, with one bottle of wine and in our pijamas, or sometimes with friends drinking cheap beer... We should live like this.. And then, we should have a baby. Imagine, a living creature that is yours and mine! We should pacify it at night in turns.. You should sometimes be a spoilsport, and I should take your turn. I should be not cooking because I'm tired, and you should break an egg, grumbling. When it's cold outside, we should spoon each other in bed. While the time passes by fast, we should have a life well-lived and with no regrets. We should not be fed up with each other, despite everything. All those days spent together, happy or sad, they should be ours. When our hair turn grey, or even when we lost them, we should leave this city, making sure the kids are alright. We should go settle somewhere, where you don't wake up to a murder, to a quiet town. We should admire the sea from our balcony at night, we should sit in our rocking chairs. You should ask me for a coffee when you come home. The kids should come visit us, and we should remember our old lively days. You should call me "Sir" (or husband), and I should call you "Madam" (or wife). You should so love me that all I've written shouldn't scare you. They should make you smile. When we pass away one day, there should only be some smile on our faces. In everything, there should be the pride of loving each other...
