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...
