GROW OLD WITH ME
Falling In Love All Over Again
Every night I look in your eyes
And watch the world spinning by
I hear the crashing of the days against the edge of time
And I feel life squeezing in between us
And every morning, when the sun comes up
I look outside
And all the colors of the day remind me they’re ours to find
We just have to take the time to look for them
I know it’s not as easy as it seems
Life never is, we both know better
But now it’s time to linger in our days
And cherish every moment we have together
Grow old with me
Let’s spend each day falling in love all over again
Carry each other through whatever waits ahead
We’ll watch the sunset through each other’s eyes
And live each other’s lives like we have nothing left to lose
Grow old with me
I want to grow old with you
And if life should choose to bless us with more time
We’ll revel in it’s beauty and its grace
And when we leave this world behind us
We’ll look back on the wonder of our days
Grow old with me
We’ll spend each day falling in love all over again
Carry each other through the days that lie ahead
Grow old with me
We’ve nothing left to lose
Grow old with me
We’ll dance beneath the stars and feel young again
We’ll steal the night and never let it end
We’ll lie in bed and watch the morning rise
And live each other’s lives like we have nothing left to lose
Grow old with me
I want to grow old with you
Grow old with me
I want to grow old with you

My heart melted as I read this poem Christopher. It gave me a longing for the kind of love, the companionship, wholeness you describe here. Beautifully written.
This is almost too beautiful. This is love, how I imagine it to be for longevity. You writing is so evocative
