Twenty years from now, I'll look back
And see a smile on your face.
A sweet one, A comical one, And a hungry one.
Nothing will stop me from remembering your sweet words;
Remembering your lips on my skin;
Remembering your pulse in the palm of my hand.

How annoyed you get when I'm talking about your Christmas present
Without giving hints.
And how angry you were when I wouldn't delete the picture,
Then felt guilty when I said I would.

And in the twenty years between now and then,
Hopefully you will be by my side.
Every step of the way. Through every fight,
Secret, and unexpected photograph.
Every decision, uncomfortable silence,
And chalk drawing of my emotions.

I love you.
Forever and always.
