Her Questions:
Darling will you still love me
When I start to become old
When my hair is streaked with grey
And the wrinkles take a hold?
Darling will you still kiss me
When our love has known an age
As we move through time together
And we reach another stage?
Darling will you still desire me
After the excitement is long gone
And everything is familiar
And our feelings become drawn?
Darling will you still be here
After decades roll in time
If we looked into the future
Would you still be mine?
His Answers:
Yes my Love, I’ll love you
Even if your hands turn cold
I will never leave you
As your body changes old.
Yes my Love, I’ll still kiss you
When our youth has faded away
For nothing could tear me from you
By your side I’ll always stay.
Yes my Love, I’ll still desire you
For when all is said and done
No-one else is in my soul
In my heart you’re the only one.
Yes my love, I’ll still be here
As we journey through this life
Through highs and lows and in-betweens
Because you are my wife.
I love you more than shape
And more than what I see
It is the fire within your heart
That will always rapture me.
All of it, so very beautiful…. but the last four lines, wow. The perfect ending.
“I love you more than shape / And more than what I see / It is the fire within your heart / That will always rapture me.”
Swoon! :)) 💛

Thanks Lia, I struggled with accepting the predictability of the rhymes in this one, but sometimes they are needed to tell the story.
Those are my favourite too 💜

I know what you mean… I used to call my poetry on this (LiaThePoet) site “simple rhymes.” But simple rhymes were what cracked my heart. I love this poem of yours.
