Old Couples

Do you remember the time, When we used to carry only a dime, No gold, no dollars, But the world were like yours and mine? The bliss, together we share, We comfort each other in every despair. The fondness that seems unending, Our love that's bound, unyielding. But oh, how can we not fight against time? In its power, we can only resign. Your long black hair, now silver white, Now your eyes, and it's degrading sight. We both fear that every morn and evening is our last. That's why we wish not to fall asleep too fast. Everyday is like meeting you for the first time “Hi!”. And every night is like saying a painful “Goodbye”.
