Poem
Alone Together So now I know What our years will be like, Down the road When we are truly old And no one comes around much anymore. It will be very quiet And we will live in other rooms, mostly Reading our books, Stroking our cats. But we will drift past one another In our comings and goings, And there will be frequent touches, and laughter And the sharing of many small, Meaningful things Our shared life has sown together Down these many years. We will have little, But that little will be gold, Gold silently glittering Through the moments ticking down We will derive our greatest pleasures From the simplest of things, A skill we lost when we left our childhoods. So let them laugh, if they will, At our simplicity. The decades we devoted to one another Speak for themselves. We shall lie down together, Whenever we will, And stay so 'til we decide To move into another day. Each other's warmth will be the supreme comfort Until the end. Glasses of wine, Some noble thoughts, Amusement at our former selves Unspoken awe at what we are becoming; Our life has been an honor to us both - Though more to me, Because I know I don't deserve you. But here we are, With all our flaws and glories, And I thank the Universe, In it's blind magnificence, For giving me you. Let us live, Let us sleep, Let us dream, Let us love To the end of our days, And know this - You are my one and only love, Now,and forever. Let us join hands, Face the future, unafraid, And smile.
