Our eternities
I love you so much
I wish that I could give you this eternity
That we could have a little old black cat
Who we were convinced was a witch
I wish we could grow with her
Sharing all our hearts between us three
And I wish we could cry together as her time came
And plant flowers over her grave
And mourn and feel and fall on each other
Like leaves on the ground
I wish we could spend our eternity
Laughing to lull us into sleep
In our old bed that you’ll complain hurts your back
But that we never change
Despite the creaks and the way it feels
Like it might break under us
Because it never does
I’d spend my eternity running early
And you a little bit late
And we’d meet somewhere in the middle
I’ll always ask you to turn your music down
Your response will be to dance when I do
I won’t be able to help but laugh and join you
We’ll have an eternity of loud music and silly dances
I’ll eventually put up with the way you play your music
Because you put up with my bad singing
And we will be the most annoying people in love
In the nursing home
I wish I could give you my eternity
I know we’d be so incredibly happy
But my eternity is ending early
And yours is running late
So you’ll have to bury our little witch alone
And plant the flowers on your own
But know, I love you so
