Each day for 40 years, he asked her to marry him, and on each day for 40 years, she said ‘yes’.

She once asked him, ‘after 40 years of marriage, why do you still ask?’

‘Just in case you’ve changed your mind,’ he replied, ‘just in case, you’ve changed your mind.’

You freed me.
With you, my limited world, became limitless;
and all that was impossible, suddenly became possible.

You tell me that love is not always beautiful;

a lie betrayed each time I look into your eyes.

You are terrified of growing old and having things sag;
  I am terrified of growing old and saggy without you.

A destroyer of hopes and dreams - even her own.
She set out to ruin everyone (and everything) she was jealous of.
Her mission accomplished, she soon found there was no one and nothing left but herself.

You told me you will love me forever,
which scares me.
Forever, will never be an eternity.

In a world where time waits for no one, I am a ticking time bomb.  Each letter like the second hand of a clock, waiting for an explosion of words.
