Pop Poetry: “Marriage”
December 19, 2020
I’ll be yours
And you’ll be mine
And we’ll belong to each other
Like a focused lens
Capturing a perfect moment
Our perfect moment
Though they say love fades
They only talk about the passion
But you’re my best friend
So I don’t think I can see that happening
I picture us staying in on Saturdays
And going for breakfast on Sundays
On Monday we’ll have work but you’ll be my priority
On Tuesday we’ll have tea and read and I’ll look up from my book
To see you making the same face you’d make when we were kids
On Wednesday I’d tell you how much I love you
And I’d cook you dinner and remind you that I’m not going anywhere
On Thursday when we’ve finished errands and chores
I’ll hum your favorite songs while you lay on my chest and listen to the vibrations of my voice
And on Friday I’d do it all again while I carry you through the murky water to make sure you don’t get wet
Like a flower in my pocket I will make sure you have room to grow
Till we’re older and I can’t carry you any more
Till I’ll need thicker glasses to read
Till my hums become softer
Till it becomes too much to go out on Sundays
Till I only see you in my dreams
