The Beautiful Life We Choose to See
Forty Years
I will....
kiss you in the rain,
hold your hand and watch children splash in a fountain
share licks from your ice cream cone
watch sunsets on a beach
make love to you under a tree on a summer day
sit on a dock as we dangle our feet
read to you as I lay my head in your lap
scream your name
wet your face with my tears
play in the snow
ride a ferris wheel
get stuck at the top
let you carry me to bed
and wash my hair in a claw footed tub in the morning
pick a fight with you
have angry sex with you
make up with you
love you everyday
wish for you every minute
call for you at the end
see your face as the last
Wait for you in the next.
