Old together

When we were young

We held each other so tight and talked through the night

You yelled at the top of your voice

One day we will grow old together”

 

Time ran on, I was always gone

As we held hands

You softly said

One day we will grow old together”

 

Months and years ran off the clock, we hardly talk

With a tentative touch

You whispered

One day we will grow old together”

 

Today we are old, your touch so cold

You withdraw

Not a word is said

We grew old together
