my youth is yours

people are so beautiful when they are young.
before they face the rough and awful world,
before their skin wears down
with age, mistakes, and emotions.

you are most beautiful in your youth,
but i love you much longer.
i love you when your hair grays, your skin creases, and your sight becomes weak.

it is my job to love you for eternity.
i am entitled to you, deserve you, and my purpose in life is you.

so please, don't be afraid to grow.
to me, you will forever be young and beautiful.
