If I write you 1 poem, 2 poems,
3 poems or 4
Do you think it would make you come back through that door?

The door to the room
That I first met you in
Please take me back
So we can begin this again

"I may not be perfect
But I'd give you my life
I swear this that one day
I'll make you my wife

To love and to hold
When it's cold and it's dark
But our love will forever guide us
Because of the spark"

I dared to believe
Oh, So many years ago
We would always have highs
And we'd never have lows

We bitched just the same as
Any regular couple
But we're not just as lame
Because we loved double

60 more years later
My love didn't diminish
Every day of our lives
Only felt like a minute

As you lay here breathless
And I stand over in tears
I'll read what you wrote on this napkin
I've kept it for years

"I really like you
I think you're the man,
You should ask me out on a date
Sound like a plan?"

These words will forever stay with me
Right next to my heart
So I can read them again
And feel it restart
