We could both be busy working or being lazy
When at 11:34 he will say with keys in hand,
Get in the car, we’re getting cheeseburgers.
And we will go to a diner
And get apple juice and bendy straws
And we’ll put quarters in the jukebox
And play songs from when we were little.
We will ride bicycles on Sundays
And watch the History Channel.
He’ll believe in aliens and ghosts,
And make me try new things when that is just the medicine.
We will both love books
And believe making beautiful things is beautiful.
We will make love and lie in bed
And make shadow puppets on the walls.
We will remember to try our best to be
The person we’d want to be married to.
We will remember to love our lives
So we can love each other.
And even when we are ugly, in age or to each other,
We will kiss each other every day and always say I love you.
And we won’t know where we are going,
But will wake up when we get there.
