Old People Love
that's what we have now you see.
That kind of love where we fuss and grumble
but would never think to leave.
Where we shake our heads at each other,
and laugh and talk about the weather.
Telling the same old stories,
of all our years together.
It's hard to tell sometimes where you stop
and I begin.
I've given up on that riddle,
Really, there is no way I can win.
After 40 years, together
We're not just lovers, but best friends.
So I overlook the Lipstick on my coffee cup,
and you stealing fries from my plate.
While you pick at your spinach salad,
and worry about your weight.
Telling me I need to hurry up,
when you always end up running late.
You tell me I'm no better
when I forget to take out the trash.
Or you catch me hiding cookies
in what I thought was my secret stash.
Yes, we have that old people love,
It seems we know each other too well.
And even though we joke and tease.
Seriously, It's been Hell!!! LOL
Only kidding My Love!
I wouldn't change a thing,
I'm even happier today,
than when I gave you that ring.
That's Old People Love.
The kind of love I hope we all have someday.
