when i look at you i see what i want in the future.
2 years.
your legs are tangled around mine, like tangled vines in a 100 thread count jungle.
the morning smells better laced in your shampoo.
5 years.
my garage has two cars making it ours.
sometimes i call home just to hear your voice on the machine and I swear you laugh so hard I can feel your breath.
10 years.
you wear your ring around your neck so it dangles by your heart, and i envy that ring for spending more time nuzzled on your chest than i.
but every night it's forgiven.
50 years.
our bony joints are still puzzle pieces holding me together.
though you can't sleep in the same bed as me, it's too soft for you now, you still curl up by my side at 6 am.
but I know that when you look at me, you aren't quite sure if there's a tomorrow.
forever is too much to ask,
but i'm going to love you for as much time as we have.
i love you
