Death.
Loneliness.
I attend your funeral.
Watching the news together. On full volume.
I buy your medication from the pharmacy.
You help me get into and out of the car.
I drive you to the doctor.
Christmas. You get me a beautiful new shawl.
Thanksgiving with the family: our two children and lovely grandchildren.
We move into a smaller house.
We retire together.
You complain about work as you massage my feet after a long day.
I cook a special dinner for our anniversary.
Ronnie is born.
You get a promotion at work.
My business is becoming a success.
Trisha is born.
We move into a new house.
We say: "I do".
You bend down on one knee, holding a small velvet box in one hand.
We move in together. It's a tiny apartment, but I don't care.
We graduate university.
I get my dream internship.
I reply: "I love you."
You say: "I love you".
We go on a third date.
We go on a second date.
We go on our first date.
We sit next to each other in History class.
We meet again at a café.
You become captain of the soccer team.
We dance together at a frat party.
Dylan introduces us to one another.
You smile at me.
Our eyes meet.
I see your beautiful green eyes.
